August Strindberg (1849-1912), playwright and novelist, as well as painter and photographer, is one of the fathers of modern theatre. At the forefront of the theatre of his time, he inspired numerous contemporary authors, including such diverse and relevant figures as Kafka, Adamov, Cocteau, and especially the Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
Jean-Pierre Sarrazac, author of the most recent essay on the author. Strindberg, the Impersonal (L’Arche, 2018) states, in summary, regarding the work that “autobiographical narratives are antechambers to dramas. On the lines of flight of the autobiographical narrative, what is personal in nature tends to be impersonal. Far from a psychological reading of theatrical writing, this intertwining between theater and autobiography inscribes the intimate at the heart of a creation in which existence comes to shape and vivify the writing.”
Nietzsche said of him, referring to the well-known work Inferno: "I was surprised by the discovery of this work which expresses in a grand way my own conception of love: in its processes, war; in its essence, the mortal hatred of the sexes." With due consideration, this quote is also applicable to the book. The Dance of Death.
