About This Book

The text presents a manifesto and brief dramatic pieces advocating a radical, synthetic theatre based on extreme brevity, energetic gestures, and anti-technical methods. It denounces contemporary theatrical prolixity and psychological analysis, proposes acts reduced to moments or seconds, and encourages theatrical language to compete with cinema through rapid montage, concise wording, abrupt scene variety, and striking sensory effects. The authors offer practical prescriptions to dismantle conventional technique: condense character and plot into minimal signs, reject strict verisimilitude and lengthy explanation, and prioritize speed, shock, and concentrated symbolic expression over prolonged dramatic development.

Io... non ho proprio niente da dirvi! — Giù la tela!
