Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Our Great Moderns

A traversal through the works of those who have been writing, imagining, and creating since the late twentieth century. This selection brings together pieces that mirror the shifts of an era — literary gestures, singular voices, new perspectives. Each book and object has been chosen to capture, through its material presence, the living imprint of our contemporaries.

Alexis PIRON

Born9 juillet 1689
Died21 janvier 1773
LanguageFrench
NationalityFrance
Écrivain français, auteur de pièces de théâtre, de poèmes, de contes, de chansons et d’épigrammes. Il écrit des tragédies, des comédies, ainsi que de nombreux opéras-comiques. Son "Ode à Priape" servit de prétexte pour lui refuser l’entrée à l’Académie française.
Auteur de deux pièces pour marionnettes, "Le Mariage de Momus ou la Gigantomachie" (1722) et "Colombine Nitétis" (1723). Des marionnettes apparaissent aussi dans deux de ses pièces pour acteurs : Polichinelle dans <em>Arlequin-Deucalion" (1722) et une grande marionnette habitée dans "L’Endriague</em> (1723).
Selon les frères Parfaict, un autre opéra-comique, "Tirésias" (1722), parfois appelé "La Vengeance de Tirésias", aurait d’abord été joué par des marionnettes de taille humaine avant de l’être par les acteurs de la troupe. C’est sans doute une erreur : cette indication figure dans leur "Dictionnaire des théâtres de Paris" (volume 5, 1756, p. 465) mais, dans un ouvrage précédent ("Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire des spectacles de la Foire par un acteur forain", volume 2, 1743, p. 8), les deux historiens l’évoquaient à propos de la pièce suivante de Piron, "Le Mariage de Momus", jouée en septembre 1722. "Tirésias" est une pièce écrite pour les acteurs de la troupe de Francisque, et en premier lieu pour leur Arlequin, Francisque lui-même, qui excellait dans les changements de sexe et les rôles en travesti.
Poète et dramaturge. Né à Dijon, mort à Paris
