Symbolism was the last truly holistic philosophy of life and art admitting of no essential dichotomy between matter and spirit, the human and the divine. The theme of this study of conventions and innovations in European symbolist theater is the lyric poet's struggle to overcome his isolation from society through a ritual communion with the people in an idealist theater sometimes exuding the aura of a temple and at other times reflecting the popular spirit of folk street fairs. He seeks aesthetic distance in the impersonality of the marionette and the mask. The audience in the symbolist theater encounters a new concept of character, devoid of individualized traits of personality, depersonalized symbols pointing to the unity of the sensuous and ideal worlds but possessing a reality of their own. The symbolists sought stylized theatrical models such as the Noh and the marionette theater, because their destruction of theatrical illusion redirects the perceiver's mind away from analogies with temporal and mundane reality in order that it might focus on the transcendent and universal truths of an absolute plane of reality. The impersonal interpreters of symbolist drama, whether masks or marionettes, efface themselves so that the audience feels that it is in the presence of the text itself. The symbolist dramatist utilizes the aesthetic distance resultant from impersonal theatrical devices and the simplicity of a detheatricalized stage to deflect interest from apparent reality by raising the consciousness of the audience to a new higher level of awareness of self and the cosmos. By revitalizing art forms with a long popular tradition such as the marionette the symbolist theater reached out to the broad masses of society with a form comprehensible to the people because it stemmed from the folk. Inspired by the great theatrical periods of history when the theater was still a central force in society, the symbolists endeavored to restore to the theater its focal role in shaping society by unifying the populace through myths stemming from the folk in a communal act of belief.
