Amants séparés, vertu persécutée, moines lubriques et meurtriers, confrontation de l'Ancien Régime et du nouvel ordre, avec la Révolution en guise de deux ex machina ; mais aussi passions déchaînées, proclamations enflammées et tableaux frappants : l'intrigue des Victimes cloîtrées, drame de Jacques-Marie Boutet dit Monvel, avait tout pour plaire au public de 1791, et connut, tout au long de la période révolutionnaire, un grand succès scénique ainsi que de nombreuses rééditions. La présente édition retrace l'histoire du texte et de ses représentations, de sa création à ses dernières reprises lors des célébrations du Bicentenaire de la Révolution française en 1789. Elle s'efforce d'éclairer les implications historiques de cette pièce intimement liée aux circonstances et à la question monacale, en présentant les modifications imposées au texte par le contexte idéologique et les interprétations variées qui en ont été faites. Mais elle met également en lumière l'importance proprement dramatique de cette œuvre, écrite par un acteur soucieux de spectaculaire et d'effets scéniques. Avec Les Victimes cloîtrées, chaînon manquant entre le drame bourgeois de Diderot, le roman gothique anglais et le mélodrame du début du XIXe siècle, s'invente un nouveau type de dramaturgie et un nouveau rapport du public au spectacle : un véritable théâtre de la fascination. À tous ces titres, le drame de Monvel mérite d'être redécouvert. Separated lovers, persecuted virtue, lecherous and murderous monks; the confrontation between the Ancien Régime and the new order, the Revolution appearing as a kind of deux ex machine; unrestrained passions, enflamed speeches and striking tableaux: the plot of Les Victimes cloîtrées, a drame by Jacques-Marie Boutet, known as Monvel, had everything necessary to please the audiences of 1791. Throughout the revolutionary period this work enjoyed an immense success on the stage, and was also reprinted numerous times. This new edition retraces the history of the text and its performances, from its debut to its last production during the bicentennial celebrations of the French Revolution in 1989. This edition explores the historical implications of a work intimately linked to the times in which it was produced, as well as to the debate about monasteries and religious vows. This volume presents not only the changes imposed upon the text by the ideological context, but also the various interpretations that the play has provoked. It sheds light on the theatrical importance of the work, written as it was by an actor attentive to spectacle and stage effects. The missing link between Diderot's drame bourgeois, the English gothic novel and early nineteenth-century melodrama, Les Victimes cloîtrées invents a new kind of dramaturgy and a new relationship between the audience and the performance: a true theatre of fascination. For all these reasons, Monvel's drame deserves to be discovered afresh.
