The utopian space in the theater of Marivaux

Abstract

Utopia and theater are two terms related to the human imagination. In fact, who says imagination says creativity, unreality and otherness. At the dawn of humanity, man is born unfulfilled and always looking to improve his life. He became a dreamer or traveler. the dissatisfaction led him to find a solution. In diving in his dreams , he draws cities, companies or islands where happiness and serenity ensure his euphoria. In penetrating his thoughts, he invented the theater for fun. On stage or on an island , the vacuum makes man sketching cities. From Plato's Republic , through Homer's Odyssey , to Thomas More 's Utopia , the notion of utopia comes to embody the stories in literary dreams of human beings to a better life. Marivaux is committed to make this clearer reverie. He settled it in the scenic " empty " to make it authentic . In celebrating the ancient Saturnalia , celebrating the Reason , by challenging a patriarchal society , Marivaux take us back to his islands to discover the theatrical and utopian world, on the image of the island of Utopia of Thomas More , where quiet and blissful communities live in harmony and respect for human values. By combining utopia and the theater, the stage and the island, the real and the ideal , good and evil, Marivaux wrote his utopias which we have chosen to stop and to abstract in semilogoy
