2. Théâtre-Libre (Britannica).
Excerpt: "Théâtre-Libre, (French: Free Theatre), independent, private theatre founded in Paris in 1887 by André Antoine, which became the proving ground for the new naturalistic drama. Antoine, an amateur actor, was influenced by the naturalistic novels of Émile Zola and by the theatrical realism of the Meiningen Company. Antoine believed that environment shaped character and behaviour, and he sought to create settings that would faithfully reflect every aspect of real life."
