L'Ancien. Drame en un acte, en vers. Représenté sur le Théâtre-Libre le 2 mai 1889.
Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1889. Un volume broché (12 x 19 cm) de 73 pages. Des rousseurs sinon bon exemplaire.
Le Théâtre-Libre est un mouvement théâtral né dans une salle du 18e arrondissement de Paris, créé par André Antoine en 1887 afin de rénover le spectacle au moyen d'une mise en scène réaliste et par l'interprétation de jeunes écrivains naturalistes français (Émile Zola) et étrangers (Ibsen, Strindberg). Le naturalisme, qui était alors au premier plan de l'actualité littéraire, restait exclu des scènes officielles. André Antoine comprit tout le parti que le théâtre pouvait tirer des théories d'Émile Zola. Le Théâtre-Libre serait donc la scène ouverte à l'opposition dramatique, à tous les refusés de la Comédie-Française et du Théâtre de l'Odéon1. Le Théâtre-Libre se présenta d'abord comme un laboratoire expérimental pour initiés, puis comme un théâtre de provocation. Après une période de difficultés qui l'obligea à quitter Paris pendant près de trois ans, il devint le lieu de rendez-vous de la haute société.

This is a stunning 380-page limited edition, compiled by the programme publishers of the Ballets Russes themselves, Maurice and Jacques de Brunoff.
Very rare limited original edition of this splendid production by the Brunoff-brothers, which constitutes a collection of the most important, most influential, and most beatiful parts of the original Ballets Russes-publications, together with explanatory forewords By V. Svetloff, written and printed for this collection. ALL THE PROGRAMMES ARE THE ORIGINAL PRINTINGS, collected and bound here in this special compilation, which presents a selection of extracts from the magazines, together with the souvenir programmes (that were published as supplements), arranged in chronological order. This work vividly documents the famous ballet company that premiered such groundbreking productions as Igor Stravinsky's Firebird, Petrushka, Rite of Spring, Parade, etc.Among the most important of all the publications present, is the magnificent May 1917 ""Théatre du Chatelet"" separate publication (mainly devoted to the ballet ""Parade""), which constitutes one of the most important publications in the history of modern art. It is here, in his presentation-article to ""Parade"" that Apollinaire coins the term ""surrealism"" and thus lays the foundation for the seminal cultural movement that Bréton came to lead. Furthermore, the ballet ""Parade"" represents a historical collaboration between several of the leading artistic minds of the early twentieth century: Erik Satie, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Léonide Massine, and Serge Diaghilev, and is especially famous, not only for its contents and its music, but also for its magnificent costumes designed by Picasso, the drawings of which are presented in the present publication for the first time - most famously the front cover for the ""Parade""-programme, which depicts the ""Costume de Chinois du ballet ""Parade""/ aquarelle de Picasso"", an etching with original, stunning pochoir-colouring (hand-painted by Picasso himself!).This one programme epitomizes the importance and infuence of the magnificent ""Comoedia Illustré"", of which all the most important contributions are collected here, in this one stunning volume. This amazing ballet monthly was published in Paris between 1908 and 1921. The special issues are generally speaking the most important ones, as they were often devoted to the annual Paris season of Serge Diaghilev's Balletes Russes and Ida Rubinstein's Galas Russes and document the amazing endeavours of these. These groundbreaking special issues (the May 1917 being merely an example), are geerally lavishly illustrated, usually in full colour, often heightened in gold, with costume and set designs and enriched with portraits of the leading singers and dancers in the ballets. The vast amount of colour illustrations throughout this collection includes contributions to the magnificent history of the Ballets Russes by such distinguished artists as Pablo Picasso and Léon Bakst. As the groundbreaking 1917 ballet ""Parade"" - the first of the modern ballets - originally presented for the first time in the present publication, marks Picasso's entry into the public and bourgeois institutions of ballet and theatre and presents Cubism on the stage for the first time, so Bakst's splendid costume and set designs depicted over numerous issues here for the first time presents the application of art nouveau design concepts to the stage. The present compilation of original publications presents an outright revolution in the history of art, theatre, and ballet on many levels.The introductory leaves to each year are almost all written by Svetloff (= Valerian Ivchenko), who was a famous Russian critic and the first biographer of Anna Pavlova.
Le naturalisme au théâtre. Les théories et les exemples.
Paris, G. Charpentier, 1881. 18 x 11,5 cm, ii-408 pp. Relié demi-chagrin, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés du chiffre monogrammé de Francisque Sarcey, titre doré. Reliure légèrement usée, traces de frottements, des rousseurs, sinon bon exemplaire. Édition en grande partie originale (le premier chapitre avait paru dans Le Roman expérimental, en 1880), tirage courant après 10 exemplaires sur Chine et 10 exemplaires sur Hollande. Envoi autographe signé de Zola à Francisque Sarcey.
Le plus lu et le plus écouté des critiques de théâtre de son temps, selon Zola, Francisque Sarcey (1827-1899) fit la pluie et le beau temps sur les scènes parisiennes. Très conservateur en matière politique comme littéraire, Scribe et Labiche étaient ses modèles, il estimait que le théâtre n'est pas la représentation de la vie humaine, mais un ensemble de conventions destiné à faire illusion au spectateur, suscitant l'ire de Zola: La critique telle qu'il l'entend est une simple vulgarisation du théâtre, excellente pour le commun des hommes, mais insuffisante dès qu'elle s'occupe d'un homme supérieur.Le critique dramatique se montra féroce pour les tentatives que Zola fit au théâtre. Sarcey fit cependant trois conférences sur les romans de Zola en avril 1876 qui eurent un grand retentissement. Il déplorait l'immoralité de certains passages et des excès stylistiques, mais il reconnaissait le talent du romancier : Vous êtes le premier critique que je vois réellement pénétrer dans l'ensemble de mon oeuvre, lui écrivit Zola. (Dictionnaire d'Émile Zola, pages 385-386.)
Kjærlighed paa Nicolai Taarn eller Hvad siger Parterret. Heroisk Vaudeville i 1 Act. - [ANDERSEN'S THEATRE-DEBUT]
Kjøbenhavn, Reitzel, 1829. Small 8vo. Original blank wrappers.A few scattered brownspots, but a very good copy in completely original condition, as it was issued.
First edition of Hans Cristian Andersen's third publication in book form and his first dramatic work. This seminal publication marked his stage-debut and was not only the first work that he wrote for the theatre, but also the first of his works that was performed on the stage. It is with the present work, ""Love in Nicolai Tower"" that Hans Christian Andersen inaugurated his dramatical production, a genre that came to define much of his literary production for the next forty years, over the cause of which he produced about as many plays - i.e. ab. 40. The question as to acceptance from the theatre and the the set-up of the plays, however, -especially at the beginning of his career - would often postpone the actual theatre debut by many months, sometimes years. Thus, many of his early plays were only performed on the stage much later. ""Kjærlighed on Nicolai Taarn"", however, was accepted almost immediately and was performed already the following year, marking his theatre debut.

Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie de Bruxelles. Programme, grande soirée de gala, jeudi 14 mars 1963.
Les Amis Belges de l'Aliah des jeunes, 1963. 32 x 25 cm, non paginé. Couverture illustrée par Bernard Buffet. La représentation était l'opéra de Carmen de Bizet, décors et costumes de Bernard Buffet. Couverture légèrement piqué sinon bon exemplaire. Exemplaire avec deux signatures manuscrites, dont celle de Maurice Béjart, la deuxième est par nous indéchiffrable.
En 1959, Maurice Béjart n'obtenant pas l'aide de l'État français pour établir sa troupe dans un théâtre, Maurice Béjart quitte la France pour la Belgique où il travaillera durant vingt-sept ans. À la demande de Maurice Huisman, alors directeur du Théâtre royal de la Monnaie, il crée en 1959 à Bruxelles sa plus célèbre chorégraphie, Le Sacre du printemps. Le contrat temporaire qui lie Béjart à La Monnaie va se transformer en un contrat de plusieurs années et entraîner la naissance du Ballet du XXe siècle en 1960. L'année même de la création de la compagnie, Béjart monte avec la danseuse Duka Sifnios le Boléro de Maurice Ravel qui devient une de ses chorégraphies emblématiques. Après Tania Bari, Suzanne Farrell, Louba Dobrievic, Anouchka Babkine, Angèle Albrecht et Shonach Mirk, Jorge Donn reprendra le rôle, qui sera alors dansé indifféremment par un homme ou par une femme. Dans les années 1960-1961, Maurice Béjart propose la création à Bruxelles, dans le cadre du Théâtre de la Monnaie et dans le prolongement du Conservatoire de danse, d'une école de danse pour les petits rats, intégrant, outre les cours de danse, la formation scolaire obligatoire et une éducation artistique. Ce projet n'aboutira pas; plusieurs années plus tard, des options danse sont ajoutées à l'enseignement scolaire traditionnel, ce qui a donné les « humanités chorégraphiques ».
