Les oeuvres vidéo-électroniques de Carlo Quartucci et les mécanismes d'expérimentation vidéo-théâtrale, à travers la reconstruction du parcours historique, culturel et politique italien des années soixante et soixante-dix

This article begins with a social and historical survey of cultural life in Italy during the 1960s
and 1970s, marked, with regard to the theatre, by the difficult coexistence of traditional directors
with young author-actor-performers, for whom Carmelo Bene was an inspiration. Among the
latter, Carlo Quartucci undertook experimental research thanks to the “contamination” between
theatre and video, illustrated with many examples here. This new language brought to the fore a
reorganisation of the tools for audiovisual communication, in “other” sites for representation,
which led to a new relationship with the public.
