In France, the foundation of Théâtre Libre in 1887 unveiled the era of director. Since then, the mise-en-scène has been the subject of important research for those who tried to redefine the French traditional theater, based upon rational discourse. Among the theater workers who broke down the psychological and cultural barriers of traditional theater, Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) and Valère Novarina (1947- ) proposed the creation of concrete language, a language in space: Artaud attempted to ruin the illusion reproduced by the words and to compose the drama with objects on the stage. Novarina placed the actors at the center of his works and asked them to “burn” the words by their respiration and body. This thesis tries to make clear their theater ideals, especially their conception of language that re-established the theater, which had lost its meaning. Indeed, for Artaud and Novarina, the materialization of language is the most important element to the mise-en-scene, art immediate and direct.
