Vers un réalisme global

Are there "real" tears in theater, just as Godard wondered if there could be a "real" kiss in cinema? Milo Rau's artistic work is based on this millennia-old, insoluble tension between art and reality.
Radically confronting historical "reality", he creates a theater of utopian interventions capable of arousing emotions and "reaching a higher, political level - that of solidarity". Can we, as individuals, write history and represent it, put back on stage, i.e. really in presence, the great trials of history, those of crimes against humanity? Milo Rau proposes an innovative political theater, freed from postmodern codes and resolutely looking to the future.

This book brings together lectures and interviews conducted since 2013, the Ghent Manifesto and an essay by Johannes Birgfeld entitled "Milo Rau's Theater of Revolution". A wide-ranging immersion in his artistic work and thinking about theater.
