- W2292783994 abstract "Theâtre du SoleiTs Mephisto could be summarized as a richly textured, complex and yet compelling play about a petty-bourgeois actor in the 1920s and 30s who abandons his left-wing political lean ings, aligns himself with fascism and in so doing makes a brilliant acting career for himself which should outlast the Nazi regime. At the same time this description is entirely inadequate because it fails to address the role played by theater and its adjunct artistic mythologies in shaping Hofgen's political and professional choices. One of the central issues of this play indeed is the relation between culture and fascism, between the cultural discourses of theater itself, and how the subject positions which they hold out tie into fascism. Hofgen oc cupies a central place in the play insofar as he is moving through several possible subject positions until we see him as 'Mephisto'. But this does not mean that the Soleil suddenly proceeds toward a charac ter study which would be a significant departure from the project of a popular theater that draws precisely on clown scenes, pantomine, on improvisations building on material taken from real life issues as expe rienced by the people in rural France or in working class quarters. The modification of this strategy and its integration into a more trad itional type of 'plot' suggests, among other things, a dramatic change in the role of political theater. The political climate has changed; the connection between street and stage upon which the earlier produc tions of the Soleil relied in the early 1970s has been won and lost. The revolution, subject of the Soleil's productions 1789 and 1793, has not taken place, and it appears necessary to again ask questions as to the role of theater, intellectuals and artists in this failure. Given this perspective, Mephisto is a parable. Theater returns to one of its most" @default.
