"FRAGMENTS OF LOVE"
Fragments of 7 Ancient Greek Tragedies
(in collaboration with MALTA DRAMA CENTRE)
Malta, 2008
Few words for the performance
Through all the fragments emerges the driving force of eros (love)…
… for the human, in “Prometheus Bounded” of Aeschylus.
… for the dignity and the good fame, in “Women of Troy” of Euripides.
… for the personal restoration of justice, in “Agamemnon” of Aeschylus.
… for the prototype that is lost, in “Electra” of Sophocles.
… for the power, in “Phoenician Women” of Euripides.
… for the unwritten ethical law, in “Antigone” of Sophocles.
… for losing, betrayed life, in “Medea” of Euripides.
And everywhere is the chorus.
We.
With the stasis of the body, the look, the voice, with their gravity, we interpret the words. The costumes are clothes of our personal everyday routine. We play with the roles. Diachronically.
All happen on, around and next to the white body of tragedy.
That always stands here.
