Aurélien Lugné-Poe
Aurelien Francois Marie Lugné-Poe(1869 - 1940) was a French actor and theatre director.
At age 19 he entered the conservatoire and became part of the Théâtre Libre a private naturalist theatre run by André Antoine.
He later created a group called "La Maison de l'Œuvre" or "Le Théâtre de l'Œuvre " (1893-1929). This was a private group of spectators and an experimental theatre that went against the naturalist movement and that contributed to the symbolist movement in theatre and to the discovery of new playwrites. He worked notably in new stagings of the following playwrites:
- Maurice Maeterlinck
- Paul Claudel
- Auguste Villiers de L'Isle-Adam
- Oscar Wilde
- Henrik Ibsen
- August Strindberg
- Gerhart Hauptmann
