Mity antyczne we francuskim dramacie XX wieku (na wybranych przykładach)
2017
The French theatre of the 20th century willingly treats and revisits ancient myths. Oedipus, Antigone, Electra, the Trojan War, Amphitryon appear in many writers’ works. The myth of Electra in Jean Giraudouxs version entitled Electra (1937), as well as Jean-Paul Sartres The Flies (1942) are interesting examples of metatexts. Face to the threat of war, Giraudoux, who was a diplomat and a Germanophile, focuses on the problem of power, responsibility, and justice, while Sartre exemplifies the existentialist philosophy and its main element: a man who is responsible for his actions and condemned to freedom. This was a particular challenge during the period of war and occupation. Jean Anouilh, in…

Le double sens de la mission de la Judith biblique dans l’interprétation giralducienne
2020
Jean Giraudoux in his version of the biblical myth recounting the heroic mission of Judith reveals the art of seducing Holofernes. Judith’s discovery of carnal pleasure complicates her return to the city because the two truths, that of the rabbis and that of Judith, are exposed to a confrontation.
La bataille d’Électre dans le théâtre polonais (1946)
2019
La représentation d’Électre à Łódź en 1946 montre la découverte par les réalisateurs polonais de la riche matière de la pièce. Elle reflète de grandes émotions aussi bien que l’enthousiasme des artistes engagés dans la création de la Scène Poétique du Théâtre de l’Armée Polonaise. Elle dévoile aussi des querelles autour de la scène finale qui, d’un côté, ont confirmé la portée de la pièce, de l’autre, ont mis au jour un climat de tension au sein de la société polonaise d’après-guerre.
Du sens à la folie dans "La Folle de Chaillot" de Jean Giraudoux
2016
The play entitled The Madwoman of Chaillot (1945) by Jean Giraudoux (1882– 1944) is a poetic expression, through a true/false game, of the author’s anxiety concerning the politics of the excessive exploitation of the Earth’s natural resources and its consequences. The idea of getting rich no matter what has been ridiculed with mastery, due to the characteristics of the style of the author of Electra, such as parody, irony, and agility. The main character is ambivalent, which allows interpretative variations and makes the matter of the play complicated and equivocal, which has been proved by the Polish staging of the play in 1947.
