Le sacre dans la piece 'Bob' de Rene-Daniel Dubois, Suivi du texte de creation 'Ludvig et moi (1-2-3)'

摘要

In the first section of this Master's thesis, we study the concept of sacred, more precisely the phenomenon of "re-enchantment" at work in Bob (2008), a theatre play by Rene-Daniel Dubois. Through an analysis of religious patterns, discourse segments related to the sacred, and of the mise en abyme of Lorenzaccio (1834), a romantic drama written by Alfred de Musset, we demonstrate that the romantic discourse of characters Madame Fryers and Lorenzo (played by Bob) exerts a salutary influence on both the discourse and the life of the two male protagonists, and thus creates a form of "re-enchantment" in the play.;The second section presents a creative piece of writing, a short story made of about twenty "fragments/mirrors" reflecting the life of a pianist named Ludvig, from the first note to the last fermata. On top of describing an important event that occurred in his childhood during a piano lesson, and the consequences of the latter on the rest of his existence, the character reveals, through a three-voice polyphony, his relation to music, to Art, and to the world.;The link between the two parts of this Master's thesis is Dubois' theatre play itself, which has served as a foundation to the research section, and as a source of inspiration (among others) for the short story. Indeed, the latter borrows from the drama themes such as the gulf between the inside and the outside worlds and the multiple identities of the contemporary individual, and integrates the play by the means of the mise en abyme. Finally, Bob et Ludvig et moi (1-2-3) are linked by the redemptive value given to Art, which plays in both works an important, perhaps even a sacred role.
