Descrição
The seeming contradictions in Edward Gordon Craig’s theatrical thought can be solved if they are approached as a pragmatic construct that takes the form of a concentric system that revolves around mystic contemplation, and each layer of which is a more or less remote surrogate of such contemplation. By detailing each of these layers in its relation to the core of that concentric system, the paper eventually proposes an overall synthesis of the aesthetics of Craig’s experimentations.||Les apparentes contradictions de la pensée théâtrale d’Edward Gordon Craig peuvent être résolues si on les approche comme une construction pragmatique qui prend la forme d’un système concentrique tournant autour de la contemplation mystique, et dont chaque couche constitue un succédané plus ou moins lointain de cette contemplation. En détaillant chacune de ces couches dans le rapport qu’elle entretient avec le coeur de ce système concentrique, l’article propose, au bout du compte, une synthèse globale de l’esthétique des expérimentations de Craig.||The seeming contradictions in Edward Gordon Craig’s theatrical thought can be solved if they are approached as a pragmatic construct that takes the form of a concentric system that revolves around mystic contemplation, and each layer of which is a more or less remote surrogate of such contemplation.
