FRN 403 - Studies in French Theater

Course Units: 1.0

Amours et Amities! Studies of French-language theater, tracing themes of multiple amours et amities as conceived for performance from the classical period to the present. How do loves and relationships take form; indeed, do we need a stage in order to show them? What limitations or possibilities related to loves and relationships do we take on as we give them expression and form, and what does the stage reveal about our own expressions? On our way to some answers, we will also work out the staging of some of these important and revelatory scenes. Course conducted in French. CC: HUL, LCCF, HUM
