Emile Verhaeren (1855-1916) was a Belgian French-speaking poet and playwright, one of the founders of symbolism. "If one finds Verhaeren and asks him any question, he will answer in a parable, in which every word sounds like the clang of...
iron, and he will conclude his speech with a new strong blow of the hammer on the anvil," - thus Rémy de Gourmont speaks of this writer and poet in his "Book of Masks." Iron and fire are particularly vividly depicted in the revolutionary play "Dawn." Here poetry is placed in the mouths of the characters - fighters against tyranny, who conquer it. Verhaeren predicted the socialist revolution. The first performance in Russia took place on November 7, 1920. It was with this play that the first theater of the RSFSR opened (subsequently the Meyerhold Theatre), directed by Vsevolod Meyerhold and Valery Bebutov.
