Mixail Lentovskij et la féerie
Résumé
The popularity of Mixail Lentovsky (1843 – 1906), “wizard and magician of the Russian scene”, owes much to the féeries he staged in the decade 1879 – 1890. Playing on grandiose and sophisticated stage effects, Lentovsky’s performances constitute the pinnacle of spectacularism in the theater, anticipating the aesthetics and processes of silent cinema.
