  Article:   THE RECEPTION OF THE FARCES OF THE EXPRESSIVE.

Authors:  FILIP ODANGIU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper is interested in outlining the particular manner in which reception mechanisms operate when the expressive is short-circuited by reality. I am attempting an investigation of the spectators’ interest, increasingly acute, for the theatre laboratory; to see how and whether the weight of the interest in the invisible part of the theatre may compete against the aesthetic pleasure; to see how the audience’s taste for the visible part (the performance) may be influenced by the distrust of the authenticity of the reality on the stage. The audience meets increasingly frequent suggestions for watching performances in their “workshop” stage, public rehearsals, reading-performances, readings “mise en espace”, interactive theatre, workshops that allow the presence of the audience, etc. I wonder whether the approach of all these performance sub-types holds a signification more complex than the mere answer provided to the spectator’s voyeur curiosity. Do these experiences, situated in the region of the pre-expressive, correspond to the audience’s increasing interest in the experiential values, interest correlated with the increasing distrust with the fictionalisation suggested by the “magic box” of the theatre?
