Abstract
In the Spring of 2001, Denis Marleau, artistic director and founder of the Théâtre Ubu (Montreal), became artistic director of French theatre at the National Arts Centre, after performing his plays on all the most important European stages. This interview, the first one he gave upon assuming his new position in Ottawa, tries to establish the general orientation of Marleau's future artistic choices in relation to his own creative work and the programmes he will present at the National Arts Centre (NAC). The interview moves towards Marleau's own research on Modernity through theatre practice, especially as it appears in Maeterlinck's symbolist theatre. He also discusses his staging of Catoblépas, a performance based on a text by Gaëtan Soucy that was presented at the "Theatre Festival of the Americas" in Montreal, May 2001.
