The Blue Room (play)
''The Blue Room'' is a 1998 play by David Hare, adapted from the 1897 play '' Der Reigen'' written by Arthur Schnitzler (1862–1931), and more usually known by the French translation ''La Ronde''. Schnitzler's play Schnitzler completed the play in 1900, but did not intend it to be performed, even calling the series of scenes 'unprintable', he intended them to be read by friends. The play was too sexually explicit to be performed at the time. Subsequently, it was read and then performed in private. Its first public performance in 1921, under the now accepted title ''Reigen'', was closed down by the Vienna police – Schnitzler was prosecuted for obscenity. ''Reigen'' was meant as a dramatic exposé of the decadence of the Austrian society. Schnitzler, being a doctor approached the decadence of society from a medical point of view, studying the journey of syphilis through all classes of society. The title ''Reigen'' would be best translated as 'round-dance' or 'roundelay'. This ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The painting is in the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Social circumstances The stylistic decisions can be seen as a display of Valadon's view of society's changing social norms. The piece was created in a revolutionary time when gender roles and female independence came to the forefront of social discussion in Paris and elsewhere. After WWI, women's placement in society as objects to be escorted by men, fashio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
