LA MARIONNETTISATION DES PERSONNAGES DANS LE THÉÂTRE FRANCOPHONE ET POLONAIS DU VINGTIÈME SIÈCLE.

This article is devoted to the use of the aesthetic of marionettes in twentieth-century theatre in Poland, French-speaking Belgium and France. Starting with the treatment of marionettes in Maurice Maeterlinck's play Interior, the analysis of plays shows the function of the marionettisation of characters and how puppets inspire authors, on different levels, in the representation of metaphysical, political or social issues.
