Summary "L'art de la mise en scène: Essai d'esthétique théâtrale" by L. Becq de Fouquières is an analytical treatise on theatrical aesthetics written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the complexities of stage direction, its relationship with dramatic art, and the principles that govern effective representation in theatre. The opening of the work introduces the subject of mise en scène, asserting that it is an integral yet often overlooked component of theatrical art. The author outlines a clear distinction between the roles of playwrights and directors, emphasizing that while playwrights create the script, stage directors bear the responsibility of bringing the text to life through careful attention to visual and dramatic elements. Becq de Fouquières notes the importance of collaborating with designers, understanding audience perspectives, and balancing visual effects with narrative integrity. He stresses that the true measure of a successful theatrical work lies not only in its representation but also in its lasting impact and intrinsic value, challenging the notion that popularity equates to artistic merit.
