Abstract
“The revolution must stop at the perfection of happiness.”Saint-Just1789, directed by Ariane Mnouchkine, is a production of the Théâtre du Soleil. It was created in Milan in 1970 at the invitation of the Piccolo Teatro and has been a tremendous popular success during 1970-1971 in Paris. The play is performed in a former cartridge factory and army barracks in the forest of Vincennes, on the eastern outskirts of Paris. Inside the large rectangular building the theatre company has divided the huge space into two parts, cleaned it up, and minimally painted it. One section has become a “lobby,” where tickets are picked up, some costume racks are stored and a photo display of former productions is mounted on panels.
