This article casts light on the particularity of the object theater as a practice that promotes the fight against obsolescence and the scrapping and disposal of manufactured products in favor of a new spectacular charge with a historical dimension. It is the manifestation par excellence of an aesthetic of recovery and testimony that can awaken the sense of the human and transmit cultural values to new generations from the exploitation of the memory component of recovered objects. Our approach consists in highlighting this passage from a witness object to a theatrical object that stimulates the imagination of the public and puts it in a perspective that is at once spectacular, historical and cultural. This observation allows us to deduce that the current craze for the object theater is intrinsically linked to the unprecedented perspectives it has offered to contemporary playwrights and directors in search of a new challenge to human identity.

Abstract
This article casts light on the particularity of the object theater as a practice that promotes the fight against obsolescence and the scrapping and disposal of manufactured products in favor of a new spectacular charge with a historical dimension. It is the manifestation par excellence of an aesthetic of recovery and testimony that can awaken the sense of the human and transmit cultural values to new generations from the exploitation of the memory component of recovered objects. Our approach consists in highlighting this passage from a witness object to a theatrical object that stimulates the imagination of the public and puts it in a perspective that is at once spectacular, historical and cultural. This observation allows us to deduce that the current craze for the object theater is intrinsically linked to the unprecedented perspectives it has offered to contemporary playwrights and directors in search of a new challenge to human identity.

Abstract: (french)
Dans cet article, nous mettons l’accent sur la particularité du théâtre d’objet comme une pratique qui favorise la lutte contre l’obsolescence et la mise au rebut des produits manufacturés en faveur d’une nouvelle charge spectaculaire dotée d’une dimension historique. C’est la manifestation par excellence d’une esthétique de la récupération et du témoignage susceptible d’éveiller le sens de l’humain et de transmettre des valeurs culturelles aux nouvelles générations à partir de l’exploitation de la composante mémorielle des objets récupérés. Notre démarche consiste à mettre en valeur ce passage d’un objet témoin à un objet théâtral qui stimule l’imaginaire du public et le met dans une perspective à la fois spectaculaire, historique et culturelle. Ce constat nous permet de déduire que l’engouement actuel pour le théâtre d’objet est intrinsèquement lié aux perspectives inédites qu’il a offertes aux dramaturges et aux metteurs en scènes contemporains en quête d’une nouvelle remise en question de l’identité humaine.
Author Keywords: la matérialité quotidienne, potentiel ludique, l’esthétique de la récupération, métamorphose, rhétorique, identité.
