Storytelling

In 1922, The Magnanimous Cuckold, directed by Vsevolod Meyerhold with a stage design by Lyubov Popova, was a true manifesto. In Moscow, then the epicentre of the Soviet Revolution, Meyerhold’s production of The Magnanimous Cuckold unveiled a new Constructivist and biomechanical theatre, entirely based on movement and a mastery of the stage space and time. Written by Béatrice Picon-Vallin, a leading expert on Meyerhold’s theatre, this book features an introduction to The Magnanimous Cuckold, more than 45 pictures from the Bakhrushin Museum (Moscow) and Béatrice Picon-Vallin private collection, writings of Meyerhold about biomechanics (some of them translated for the first time in English) and a bibliography. Rewind presents a collection of studies on the greatest works and most prominent figures of contemporary theatre. Each book is based on an extensive iconographic research of previously unpublished materials.

Meyerhold, The Magnanimous Cuckold

Le Théâtre du Soleil traces the company's history from a group of young, barely trained actors, directors, and designers struggling to match their political commitment to a creative strategy, to their grappling with the concerns of migration, separation and exile in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Béatrice Picon-Vallin recounts how, in the 55 years since its founding, the Théâtre du Soleil has established itself as one of the foremost names in modern theatre. Ariane Mnouchkine and her collaborators have developed a unique and ever-evolving style that combines a piercing richness of shape, color, and texture with precision choreography, innovative musical accompaniment, and multi-layered, metaphorical dreamscapes. This rich, storied history is illustrated by a wealth of spectacular rehearsal and production photos from the company's own archive and interviews with dozens of past and present members, including Mnouchkine herself. Judith G. Miller's timely translation of the first comprehensive history and analysis of a remarkable, award-winning company is a compelling read for both students and teachers of Drama and Theatre Studies.
