Summary/Abstract: The author describes the productions of three directors represented at this year’s Avignon Theatre Festival (7-28 VII 2012): William Kentridge’s Refuse the Hour (prem.: 18 VI 2012 Holland Festival in Amsterdam), Christoph Marthaler’s Meine faire Dame (Theater Basel, prem.: 12 XI 2010) and Simon McBurney’s The Master and Margarita (Complicite, prem.: 15 XII 2011). All three artists passed through Paris’ Jacques Lecoq International Theatre School, and their output reveals what diverse paths may be followed by its students. The common thread in their work appears to be the treatment of acting and theatre as acts of fun which really can uncover and unmask the constructed nature of time, language or reality.
