Expanded Course Description
| From Molière to Ionesco, French theater has always been a reflection of French society. It is a stage for political statement and social controversy, and a laboratory of forms of discourse, experimentation of esthetic styles, and the interaction between different levels of the French language. This class will present some masterpieces of the French theater repertory including plays by Corneille, Molière, Racine, Beaumarchais, Marivaux, Musset, Hugo, Sartre, Giraudoux, Anouillh, Ionesco, Beckett and Koltès. "French Theater" has three objectives. The first is to discover and master the vocabulary and key concepts linked to French theater. The second is to understand the different genres: comedy, tragic-comedy, drama, tragedy, absurd theater, musical theater, etc. The third is to explore, through different plays, readings and directors' interpretations, and the tension between French identity and its universal implications. To emphasize the current importance of ongoing creation, the class will present the Festival d'Avignon, one of the largest world events about contemporary French theater.
This class is for intermediate students and, through the study of dialogues, will help to improve communication skills in French.
