The Great War and popular modernism: Pat Hanna's Louis XI

Pat Hanna's Famous Diggers, a professional vaudeville theatre troupe comprising ex-Great War Anzac soldiers (initially, mainly New Zealanders, as Hanna was himself) played for nearly two years (1923-24) at the old Cremorne Theatre in Brisbane. One item Hanna premiered at the Cremorne was Louis XI, a short (ten-minute) comic sketch he wrote himself. Modernism in the inter-war years, given its usual location within avant-garde aesthetics, high culture, internationalism and radical politics, is not - with the notable exception of Brecht's cabaret work in the 1920s - usually associated with popular theatre. While one comic playlet hardly challenges that positioning, Louis XI was a direct result of the Great War's profound reshaping of modern life. Many of the dramatised sketches performed by Hanna's company, including Louis XI, were structured around a contrast between events as they had occurred in the trenches and as they were portrayed in a utopian or dystopian fantasy, sometimes triggered by shell shock or a dream. Several, again including Louis XI, involve the past, and express the curiosity and cultural dislocation Australian- and New Zealand-born soldiers felt as they moved for the first time through real-life landscapes and architecture they had known only from popular history and romance.

伟大的战争和流行的现代主义:帕特·汉纳的路易十一

Pat Hanna's Famous Diggers 是一个专业杂耍剧团,成员包括前一战澳新军团士兵(最初主要是新西兰人,因为 Hanna 本人)在布里斯班的旧克雷蒙剧院演出了近两年(1923-24 年)。Hanna 在 Cremorne 首映的一件作品是 Louis XI,这是他自己写的一个简短(十分钟)的漫画素描。两次世界大战期间的现代主义,鉴于其在前卫美学、高雅文化、国际主义和激进政治中的惯常地位,通常与流行戏剧无关——除了布莱希特在 1920 年代的歌舞表演之外。虽然一部漫画剧几乎没有挑战这一定位,但路易十一是一战对现代生活深刻重塑的直接结果。汉娜的公司表演的许多戏剧化的素描,包括路易十一,围绕在战壕中发生的事件和在乌托邦或反乌托邦幻想中描绘的事件之间的对比来构建,有时是由炮弹震惊或梦想引发的。包括路易十一在内的一些人讲述了过去,并表达了澳大利亚和新西兰出生的士兵第一次穿越现实生活中的风景和建筑时所感受到的好奇心和文化混乱,他们只从流行历史和浪漫故事中了解到.
