«L'espace vide: écrits sur le théâtre» is Peter Brook's essay on theater, published by Seuil in paperback (183 pages, in French).
Peter Brook draws on his experience as a director to classify the theatrical event into four modes: deadly theater, holy theater, rough theater and immediate theater; against conventional theater, reduced to an empty formula, he advocates a live, ritual and popular spectacle, in a clear and direct tone, not at all dogmatic.
Translation from the English by Christine Estienne and Franck Fayolle, with a preface by Guy Dumur. The original, «The Empty Space», dates from 1968; the French edition, from 1977, belongs to the series «Pierres vives».
For theater students and readers interested in twentieth-century theater theory and stage practice.
