Abstract

Ingmar Bergman’s work has been the subject of renewed attention recently due to a focus on the director’s use of intertextuality and his interest in cinema, theatre and television. The present study seeks to analyze After the Rehearsal (1984), a movie that the director himself defined as “a piece of filmed television that addresses theatre” from this perspective. It will be proposed that there is an intertextual relation between this production and Ett drömspel (The dream, August Strindberg, 1901) and that Bergman uses television, a medium with a strong tradition of dramatic programs, to explain both the common elements and the differences between cinema and theatre. In that media are linked to institutions, it will be necessary to consider historical and pragmatic dimensions, and even biography, researching Bergman’s personal relationship to the historical development of filmmaking craft within institutional settings. I will argue that, with After the Rehearsal, Bergman initiates a reflection on relationships between media that he will continue to develop in some of his most representative works, all of them accomplished in media other than cinematography, using television as laboratory and platform.
