Klappentext zu „Theatrical Gestures of Belgian Modernism “
Theatrical Gestures of Belgian Modernism assembles a series of brilliant dramatic works issuing from a remarkably fecund modern period of artistic creation in Belgium. It includes dadaists like Clément Pansaers and Paul Joostens; surrealists like Paul Nougé, René Magritte, Paul Colinet, Fernand Dumont, and Marcel Mariën; expressionists like Michel De Ghelderode and Norge; and futurists like Georges Linze. In an introduction of great historical accuracy and detail, editor David Willinger guides the reader through the maze of modernist tendencies that blossomed, intersected, and combated throughout the first part of the twentieth century in Belgium. Many of these works, whose extraordinary iconoclasm defy presentation on a conventional stage, herald some of the more radical experiments in theatrical and dramatic craft later in the century.

Pressezitat
"These charming and iconoclastic diversions from the Belgian artistic scene of the 1920s and 1930s provide a lively and entertaining supplement to the better-known - but no more engaging - dada and surrealist French works of the same period. Along with pieces by the relatively familiar Michel de Ghelderode are offered a range of exuberant fantasies by his Belgian contemporaries." (Marvin Carlson, The Sidney Cohn Distinguished Professor of Theatre, City University of New York Graduate Center, New York)"While they afford delightful reading, the 'theatrical gestures' made available here in the English translations also contribute to an ongoing reassessment of modernism. The pieces, provided with an engaging introduction, evoke the cultural atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s Belgium in the larger context of the European avant-garde scene. The works in this collection provide us insight into an inspired discourse that transcended boundaries between nations, genres, and art forms." (Eszter K. Szalczer, Professor of Theatre, State University at Albany, New York)
