International Conference -- Early Modern Theater Practices & the Digital Archive: The Comédie-Française Registers Project (1680-1793)

May 19-21, 2016 @ Harvard & MIT

Organizers and Contacts: Sylvaine Guyot (guyot@fas.harvard.edu) & Jeffrey Ravel (ravel@mit.edu)

The CFRP conference will feature scholarly presentations based on research in the Comédie-Française Registers Project database (cfregisters.org), which contains detailed box office data from over 34,000 performances in Paris from 1680 to 1793.  The conference will also feature an exhibition of French theater materials from this period at the Houghton Library, a performance of plays in French from the eighteenth-century repertory, and a hackathon devoted to developing new tools to interrogate the CFRP database.
