Product Description

[This book is written in French.]

Par Théâtre de poche il faut entendre théâtre mineur, des textes faciles à exécuter sur les planches où de jeunes talents pourront mettre en lumière un aspect dramatique de leur personnalité. Édités en 1955, ces textes laissent affleurer la personnalité si attachante de Cocteau: sa verve, son humour, son sens du clin d'oeil et du portrait.

The term "pocket theater" is to be understood as little theater, texts that are easy to perform on stages where young talents can focus on dramatic aspects of their personalities. Published in 1955, these texts allow Cocteau's engaging personality to come to the fore: his verve, his humor, his ability to wink an eye and paint a portrait.

About the Author
Crateur, Cocteau occupe une place particulire dans la littrature. Il s'est essay tous les genres: romans, thtre, posie mais aussi dessins, peintures et films. travers des images et des personnages peu communs, Cocteau construit un univers o la mythologie se mle au surrel, o les frontires du mensonge et de la vrit s'estompent. As a creator, Cocteau occupies a particular place in literature. He tried his hand at many genres: novels, plays, poetry, drawing, painting and film. By means of images and unusual characters, Cocteau constructs a universe in which mythology blends with the surreal, where the dividing line between lies and truth becomes blurred
