The FAU-USP as set design - from Appia to Artigas, the spatiality of the symbolist theater in architectural modernism
Keywords:
Modernist spatiality, Symbolism, Appia, Moholy-Nagy, Vilanova ArtigasAbstract
In the passage from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, the challenges of transposing symbolist poetics to the theatrical field led to the emergence of a new scenic spatiality, characterized by a dynamic relation between volumes and light (tending to abstraction), by the use of suggestion and by refusal to realistic and historical representations.This dynamic determines a cyclical and autonomus temporality, refractory to the phenomena external to the theatrical event; it also seeks, through the movement, to establish a fusion between all those who participate in the event, revealing to them a human essence that
would be unattainable by scientific reasoning, descriptions and demonstrations. This space-time relation, that favors the representation of utopian places, anticipates some of the characteristics of modernist architecture. This work seeks to present this chain of events through the work of set designer Adolphe Appia, Le Corbusier, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy and, finally, the project of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP) developed by the architect Vilanova Artigas.
