Hôtel de Bourgogne was the name of a former Parisian theatre building, located on the rue Mauconseil (now the rue Étienne Marcel), which opened in 1548. It was the most important French theatre prior to the 17th century and continued to be used as a theatre until 1783.〔Forman 2010, p. 134 ("Hôtel de Bourgogne").〕 ==Confrérie de la Passion== In 1548, the society of the ''Confrérie de la Passion'' ("Brotherhood of the Passion"), having lost their previous theatrical space at the Hôtel de Flandre, built a new theatre on the grounds of the Hôtel de Bourgogne, the former residence (''hôtel particulier'') of the Dukes of Burgundy.〔Hervey 1847, (p. 61 ).〕 The theatre is believed to have been long and narrow, by about , and the depth of the stage, about . The floor of the auditorium was mostly taken up by the pit, where the audience stood. At the back was a steep tier of benches on a base of about . There were two levels of boxes, seven on each side and five at the back for a total of 38.〔Hartnoll 1983, pp. 97–98 ("Bourgogne, Théâtre de l'Hôtel de").〕 In 1402 the Confrérie had received a monopoly on the performance of religious mystery plays. Rival companies arose presenting satire and other types of comedy, and finding that these groups were attracting larger audiences than their own, the Confrérie responded by adding comic scenes and burlesques to their religious mysteries. Eventually this mix of the sacred and the profane came to be regarded by some as sacrilegious. After their new theatre was completed, the Confrérie petitioned the parliament of Paris for permission to commence performances. Although the parliament passed a decree of 17 November 1548 in their favor which prohibited all other groups from performing plays in Paris or its vicinity, it also prohibited the Confrérie from presenting the Passion or any other sacred subject.〔Hervey 1847, (pp. 59–61 ).〕 The medieval mystery plays had originally been performed outdoors and employed the "multiple setting" (referred to as ''décor simultané'' in French), in which scenery representing 'mansions' or 'houses' was present simultaneously to either side of the main playing space. Although not used in England, the custom of multiple settings was adapted at the Bourgogne "in a cramped and curved indoor version which forced the actors to declaim downstage."〔 This method of presentation was retained there up to the early 17th century.〔Hartnoll 1983, p. 566–567 ("Multiple setting").〕 By the end of the 16th century, the Confrérie's audience for farces and secular drama had declined, and they began to rent the theatre to itinerant, French and foreign theatrical troupes.〔Roy 1995.〕 The Italian troupe I Gelosi is known to have performed in the theatre.〔Wild 1989, p. 100 ("Comédie-Italienne").〕 Agnan Sarat appeared there as early as 1578, and the English company of Jean Thays is believed to have been at the Bourgogne twenty years later.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hôtel de Bourgogne (theatre)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
