Come in uno specchio. Teatro e formazione dell’io. Figure e percorsi del Novecento.

The present study aimed to analyze and focus on some of the many and varied issues related to the theater of the twentieth century in order to highlight the possible implications of pedagogical nature. And by identifying "figures" (ie themes, symbols, characters) pedagogically emblematic (the puppet, mask, the paradigm of childhood, etc..), Is focusing on groups of "formative" arising from a critical use (by the mind of the reader / viewer) of the specific "forms", both textual and spectacular, that in this field have historically arisen. But also highlighting those that have been the explicit pedagogies of twentieth-century theater, from actors' Stanislavski and Copeau to those more "visionary" and utopian present in Craig and Artaud then up to the pedagogy of the "new audience" theorized by Brecht.
