This is an exploration of the director's role in autobiographical theatre. The director is in a unique position when storytelling on a personal level is being executed theatrically. I explored this topic over the course of directing three plays, each of which contained a strong personal storytelling element, which broadened my perspective of the director's role. The three plays were Slashtipher Coleman’s The Neon Man and Me, Birth by Karen Brody, and Will Power to Youth Richmond presents: William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Traditionally, the director’s role includes a myriad of tasks. These tasks can include and are not limited to creating pictures on stage that reflect the story being told, coaching actors in their craft specific to the production, vocal and movement coaching, viii creating a concept, interpreting and translating the action, and being the intermediary amongst the creative team in reaching the overall artistic vision. However, when the director is presented with personal stories to shape and mold, this role changes; no longer can the director wear a traditional hat and assume that the story will tell itself through a series of pictures, but now the director dons different hats and accesses other skills that more closely reflect those of mentor, spiritual leader, psychologist, teacher, and friend. This thesis is a narrative of the explorative process that one director experienced when staging these three prototypes of autobiographical theatre.

Le sujet posé a pour but d’identifier le théâtre importé de Pologne et de déchiffrer le rôle qu’il joue dans la vie théâtrale française ainsi que dans le contexte culturel de la France. La présence du théâtre polonais de 1989 à nos jours en France est conditionnée par plusieurs facteurs : les relations historiques et culturelles entre les deux pays, l'activité des institutions et des personnes médiatrices, la vie théâtrale française et ses composantes. Jerzy Grotowski et Tadeusz Kantor continuent à garder leur importance pour le milieu théâtral français. Il se crée dans la conscience du spectateur/critique français une opinion que le théâtre polonais, comme celui de Kantor et de Grotowski, est un endroit laboratoire, où le temps du spectacle est sacré. Ce sont les théâtres d'art de Krystian Lupa et de Krzysztof Warlikowski qui s'avèrent de nouvelles révélations artistiques. Leurs œuvres démontrent la complexité de l'homme. Leur réception s'élargit sur les stages, les créations avec les artistes français et les mises en scène d'opéra pour Warlikowski. Cependant, ces metteurs en scène viennent en France très rarement avec les adaptations d’œuvres dramatiques polonaises. Les auteurs dramatiques polonais ont donc une certaine réception en France, surtout Witold Gombrowicz, Stanisław Witkiewicz, Sławomir Mrożek qui passe par le chemin des traductions et des mises en scène proposées par des artistes français. La lecture de l'autre à travers le théâtre est supposée rester une lecture partielle, le récepteur n'ayant pas le même vécu historique que l'objet perçu. Néanmoins, malgré sa partialité, elle jette une nouvelle lumière sur le théâtre polonais. / This study represents an attempt to identify the Polish theater brought to France since 1989 and to analyse the role it currently plays in contemporary theatre in France as well as in the broader cultural context. Its very presence depends on several factors: historical and cultural relations between the two countries, related institutional and individual activity, as well as the French theatrical life itself and its components.Jerzy Grotowski and Tadeusz Kantor continue to maintain their iconic status in the French theater community. There is a well-rooted understanding of the Polish theater as an experimental space (by French theatergoers and critics alike and accomplished precisely through Kantor's and Grotowski's impact), where bearing witness to on-stage action is a sacred. Krystian Lupa's and Krzysztof Warlikowski's art theater appears to be the latest to date of artistic discoveries. Their works are seen as primarily dealing with complexities of human nature. What follows are internships, joint projects with collaborating French artists and opera productions (Warlikowski). Simultaneously these very same stage directors rarely bring their own adaptations of Polish drama repertoire to France.However, Polish playwrights in general do generate interest. This is particularly true for Witold Gombrowicz, Stanisław Witkiewicz, Sławomir Mrożek, but tends to happen another way through French translated and staged versions.Understanding the other through theater is often assumed to be an incomplete reading, as the reader does not have the same baggage of lived history as the object of his or her perception. Yet despite this obvious bias, this reading sheds a new light on the Polish theater.
