Abstract

Un ouvrage sur une figure emblématique du théâtre d'objet : Agnès Limbos. Un jour, à la fin d'un spectacle, un enfant a demandé : "Tu l'as trouvé où, ton spectacle? " Qu'est-ce qu'on répond à ça? J'ai dit : "Un matin, j'étais chez moi, j'ai entendu toc-toc-toc. J'ai ouvert la porte et là, j'ai vu un tout petit spectacle sur le seuil. Je me suis penchée, je l'ai pris et je l'ai fait entrer. Je l'ai déposé sur l'appui de fenêtre, à la lumière, et j'en ai pris soin.0Chaque jour, je l'ai arrosé et, petit à petit, il a grandi. Quand les amis venaient boire un verre à la maison, je disais : "Regardez, j'ai un petit spectacle sur mon appui de fenêtre", et les gens répondaient : "Oh, ça, ça va être un beau spectacle! "" Agnès Limbos.

Abstract

Kansas-born Pauline Benton (1898-1974) was encouraged by her father, one of America's earliest feminist male educators, to reach for the stars. Instead, she reached for shadows. In 1920s Beijing, she discovered shadow theatre (piyingxi), a performance art where translucent painted puppets are manipulated by highly trained masters to cast coloured shadows against an illuminated screen. Finding that this thousand-year-old forerunner of motion pictures was declining in China, Benton believed she could save the tradition by taking it to America. Mastering the male-dominated art form in China, Benton enchanted audiences eager for the exotic in Depression-era America. Her touring company, Red Gate Shadow Theatre, was lauded by theatre and art critics and even performed at Franklin Roosevelt's White House. Grant Hayter-Menzies traces Benton's performance history and her efforts to preserve shadow theatre as a global cultural treasure by drawing on her unpublished writings, the recollections of her colleagues, the testimonies of shadow masters who survived China's Cultural Revolution, as well as young innovators who have carried on Benton's pioneering work.

Abstract

"Wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, connects a mythic past to the present through public ritual performance and is one of most important performance traditions in Bali. The dalang, or puppeteer, is revered in Balinese society as a teacher and spiritual leader. Recently, women have begun to study and perform in this traditionally male role, an innovation that has triggered resistance and controversy. In Women in the Shadows, Jennifer Goodlander draws on her own experience training as a dalang as well as interviews with early women dalang and leading artists to upend the usual assessments of such gender role shifts. She argues that rather than assuming that women performers are necessarily mounting a challenge to tradition, "tradition" in Bali must be understood as a system of power that is inextricably linked to gender hierarchy. She examines the very idea of "tradition" and how it forms both an ideological and social foundation in Balinese culture. Ultimately, Goodlander offers a richer, more complicated understanding of both tradition and gender in Balinese society"--
