Cambridge Festival - Talk with Carrie Heuskinveld about Jean Racine

🔊 Talk - The Human and the Nonhuman in the Tragedies of Jean Racine | Cambridge Festival🎭

Rethinking Racine’s tragic world.
As part of the Cambridge Festival, this talk offers a fresh perspective on Jean Racine’s plays by exploring how natural imagery and material forces shape emotion, language, and action on stage. Attentive to motifs such as wind, air, and landscape, it situates Racine’s drama within the intellectual and cultural currents of the seventeenth century, challenging long-standing views of French neoclassicism as purely abstract or inward-looking.
