Jean Tardieu
Jean Tardieu (born November 1, 1903 in Saint-Germain-de-Joux , Département Ain , † January 27, 1995 in Créteil , Département Val-de-Marne ) was a French poet , playwright and radio pioneer .
Life
The French author wrote surrealistic -absurde poetry and the theater of the absurd committed one act play called "chamber pieces" ( Théatre de chambre , 1955). The main themes of these pieces are language clichés as well as theater and general social conventions.
As a co-founder of the cultural program in French post-war radio - in particular the Club d'Essai (1946) and the Atelier de Création Radiophonique (1969) - Tardieu assumed a similar mediating position between artists or intellectuals and the electronic mass media as his German colleague Alfred Andersch . Another focus was the area of classical and modern music. Tardieu acted from 1954 to 1969 as head of the FM program "France IV Haute Fidelité" (later France Musique - Radio France ).
