The question of listening - its place in the theatre performance, its transformations since the appearance of sound mediatizing technologies – both in the theatre space and in theatrical forms of expression outside that space, is an important issue for our research project on sound in theatre. This panel addresses this question from the spectator’s stand : the spectator as a listener.
Six members of our group contribute to that panel :
Jean-Marc Larrue develops the concept of Mediatic Resistance to explain the long and difficult coming and acceptance of electric/mediatized sound on stage
Melissa Van Drie will analyze the transformation of the theatre listener before and after the birth of the phonograph
Éric Vautrin analyzes the shift from hearing to listening in theatre and the impact of the so called return to the « real » space thanks to digital sound technologies.
Daniel Deshays examines the legibility of the sound sources used on today stage.
Jeanne Bovet’s paper questions the terms of the relation between vision and aurality in Western theatre through the study of frontality and immersion as dual and/or complementary perception modes
Marie-Madeleine Mervant-Roux addresses the central question of the « audible audience », all noises produced by the audience during the performance.
