Abstract
Every year the Paris dramatic critics give a "Moliere Award," the purpose of which is to acknowledge the best performance of the season. I am a member of the jury and take part in the discussions which oftentimes are impassioned. This year, for a change, almost without any objections being raised, we selected "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" by Brecht, performed last winter by Jean Daste and his troupe, the Comedie de Saint-Etienne. Personally, I am pleased with this choice. I deem it a good thing to pay tribute to Brecht (even though it happens after his death) and also to the staging by Daste, who, with a happier and even more delicate touch in his interpretation than that given by the Berliner Ensemble, will not soon be forgotten in France.
