Un super affollato Mulino di Amleto ha salutato sabato 13 novembre scorso la riapertura della stagione teatrale 2010-2011 con lo spettacolo “Il Caso Edipo - anamnesi di una tragedia”. In scena Edipo, re e rockstar di "sold out memory, eager to save the people on which reigned for years, the Thebans, afflicted by disasters to the wrath of the god Apollo. Tiresias gives the response: it is he, Oedipus, the cause of the ill will of God. The King rejects the accusations of blind violence, but I guess little by little the truth will be off until the tragic end.
Oedipus Rex is a tragedy of Sophocles, was staged for the first time probably in the 20s of the fifth century BC. The theme is the inevitability of fate, from which neither Oedipus - parricide, nor Jocasta - incestuous mother, nor Laius - murdered by his son, can not escape despite several attempts. So far the story is unknown.
The show performed by the Company of Banyan who cut the ribbon of the season "Oort Cloud" dedicated to the 'transit of new theater' is directed by Giancarlo Reggiani , which has staged non-professional actors in the remise en place of the 'wise', the result of the drama workshop last year. On stage the actors move in a disciplined trajectories drawn by Reggiani, interpreting the text of Sophocles (and respected), was marked for the duration of the tragedy from the songs of "The Wall" concept album of the 1979 Pink Floyd : a choice Interestingly, a pleasant surprise, with moments of absolute harmony between the lyrics and the music of Waters and Gilmour and the words of Sophocles.
On stage, the chorus, dressed as doctors, 'section' and then the characters Oedipus himself, who alone in the spotlight of the operating room, facing the X-rays of his choices, finally finds traces of a horrible truth, unpronounceable , nefarious, shameful.
the assumption of non-professional actors , the show is successful: we forgive, in fact, happy voices a bit 'weak or too stentorian and a few small gaps of memory (which happens often to the' big '). The powerful performance of Oedipus, Tiresias also very good (which is expressed in Neapolitan closely, to make 'No immediate decifrabilità' with which the soothsayers lay down their judgments), and is no less his 'translator', good servant, the pastor and the 'bodyguard' of the king. Stands directed by Reggiani, who knew how to shape a field early in a modern context. Overall of 90 minutes duration , the show is sometimes redundant, to use a little 'over the parallel Pink Floyd / Sophocles, with music and even invasive sopravanzante entries in the scene. Perhaps the most daring, the director, the soul of Hamlet's Mill, he could go even farther on the path of experimentation, making Oedipus a rock star, and then looking for another way for the management of the choir. The double metaphor - Music and medicine - is ultimately not fully integrated.
is undeniable, however, that the music has been a driving element and the end is a winner for the success of the show, showered with applause on the song " Another Brick in the Wall - Part II . In nature, Banyan, which offers a curious theatrical season, highlights the core laboratory, and many of the crowded theater classes who find the site. Perhaps that's why we wanted to start the season with a performance that betrays every now and roots of 'wise': this could be placed at another time of the billboard. However, the final prolonged applause rightly pointed out a nice design, perfect, first of which highlights the talents of Giancarlo Reggiani year that must necessarily be that of 'rebirth', as outlined at the beginning, first in the dark room, by the same director. A wish that we share and which itself has a heart, for the preservation, growth, defense of a space-cultural heritage of all.
