Valère Novarina

    May 4, 1942

    Valère Novarina is hailed as a unique voice in French theatre, drawing inspiration from Art Brut, Japanese Nō theatre, and literary figures like François Rabelais and Alfred Jarry. His distinctive style is marked by neologisms, unconventional grammar, and surprising linguistic devices that transcend mere communication. Novarina emphasizes the body as the core of theatrical expression, with his works often exploring the boundaries of imagination and the ineffable. His plays, now part of the Comédie Française repertoire, represent a significant contribution to contemporary French drama.
