Abstract:
This essay assesses the diverse methods adopted by directors who film stage plays in order to produce an effect of presence. Mise-en-scène, the ontology of the filmic image, the many interpretations of presence occurrences, connections between the stage and the screen publics, are some of the elements examined. The analysis closes with a plea in favor of film-theater.
