Abstract: What do 'dramaturgy' and 'dramaturg' mean in a contemporary French context? To explore these questions, I interviewed French theatre makers who practise dramaturgy today. Bruno Tackels has worked as dramaturg with two highly experimental French contemporary playwright-directors, Didier Georges Gabily and François Tanguy.1 Whilst Tackels has worked essentially with and on contemporary artists, Anne-Françoise Benhamou serves as dramaturg, primarily on classic texts, for director Stéphane Braunschweig.2 Joseph Danan, practising dramaturg and academic at the University of Paris III, offers a definition of dramaturgy with respect to contemporary French playwriting. I therefore also invite a contemporary French playwright to respond. Noëlle Renaude thus completes my panel.KeywordsCritical TheoryClassic TextTheatrical TextDominant IdeologyContemporary ArtistThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
