Resumo: The article proposes a review of Gordon Craig’s Scene project, an invention patented in 1910 and developed until 1922. Craig himself kept an ambiguous position whether it was an unfulfilled project or not. His son and biographer Edward Craig sustained that Craig’s original aims were never achieved because of technical limitation, and most of the scholars who examined the matter followed this position. Departing from the actual screen models saved in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Craig’s original notebooks, and a short film from 1963, I defend that the patented project and the essay published in 1923 mean, indeed, the materialisation of the dreamed device of the thousand scenes in one scene.

Craig lui-même a soutenu une position ambiguë s’il s’agissait ou non d’un projet irréalisé. Son fils et biographe, Edward Craig a défendu que les aspirations originales de Craig n’aient jamais été atteintes à cause des limitations techniques et la plupart des chercheurs qui ont examiné la question ont suivi cette position. Je pars des écrans modèles gardés à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, des cahiers d’annotations originaux de Craig et d’un court métrage datant de 1963, pour défendre que le projet breveté et l’essai publié en 1923 représentent la vraie concrétisation du dispositif rêvé des milles scènes en une scène.The article proposes a review of Gordon Craig’s Scene project, an invention patented in 1910 and developed until 1922.
