Correspondence between Text and Music in the Opera Don Giovanni by Mozart

Coresponden'a text-muzica in opera Don Giovanni de Mozart

Author(s): Irina Dabija / Language(s): English / Issue: 16/2013

Keywords: opera; Don Giovanni; Wolfgand Amadeus Mozart

The lyrical opera "Don Giovanni" by Mozart and libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte is one of the most well-known and popular lyrical operas in the history of music. Mozart's genius is evident in the way it manages to shape the characters of opera through his music. One of the striking examples is Donna Elvira, a character peculiar to those times, to which Mozart manages to give a colourful and subtle coloratura, shading its explicitness conferred by the libretto. This is a clear example of how music enriches, nuances, empowers or sublimes the traits conferred by a written text.

Symbol And Gesture In The Theatre Of Eugène Ionesco And Samuel Beckett

Simbol şi gest în teatrul lui Eugène Ionesco

Author(s): Tamara Constantinescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 16/2013

Keywords: symbol; gesture; theatre of the absurd; Ionesco; Beckett

The symbol appears as a manner of spontaneous communication of a complex and notionally inexpressible reality. The symbolic expression is the best enunciation of a relatively unknown thing, that could not be presented in a more lucid and eloquent way. In some plays, Eugène Ionesco mingles the symbols, simplifies them and reduces them. The antiheroines have gestures in which certain symbolic significations are geminated. In The Lesson, after the murder of the Student, the Maid Marie finds the redeeming solution to motivate the criminal gesture of the Professor, by the disposal of an armband with the Nazi swastika on his arm. Marie, from Improvisation at Alma or the Sheppard’s chameleon, dissipate the “conclave” of the three pedants, chasing them away with the broom and giving thus to the dramatist Ionesco the possibility to expose his “conception on criticism and on theatre”. Also, in the texts of Samuel Beckett, the antiheroines have geminated in their substance symbolic values and references to sanctity. Oh, what wonderful days! present life from birth to death, concentrated in a feminine figure buried in the sand hammock. Winnie is the visual symbol of birth as death. She transmits, though, through words rather than through her gestural language, different messages illustrated by the handling of some daily used objects, that she pulls out from her bag of “hidden treasures”.

Through the tragic heroine to the antiheroine

De la eroina tragică la antieroină

Author(s): Tamara Constantinescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2012

Keywords: heroine; antiheroine; tragic; absurd; Ionesco; Beckett

Eugène Ionesco argues that in the category of absurd theatre authors Shakespeare, Cehov, but also Sofocle or Eschil could be included as well as other authors of the world, more or less important. The human beings that populate Beckett’s world are representations of a decomposed humanity that got through a big catastrophe or of a humanity at wait. If the Antic tragedy got its subjects from the king’s or world ruler’s gestures, the absurd theatre conceives its ”heroes” as human beings emptied of content, living in a hostile world, abandoned by the divinity. The tragic heroes represent general types of humanity, having spiritual dimensions out of the ordinary. In general, the fight between humans and gods is uneven, the humans being victims of a divine will. The heroines from the traditional theatre are strong characters. In balance or imbalance induced by devastating passions, they are carriers of some special qualities and social human values. The absurd theatre suggests antiheroines that lack a personality, tormented nevertheless by incertitude and pessimism, with clownery features that incite a bitter laughter, human beings that lack a well outlined identity, or anchored in real archetypes of dehumanization. In Eschil’s or Sofocle’s tragedies the source of tragic arises in the conflict between the human and his destiny, where as in the absurd theatre the human tries to bear out an absurd, nonsensical world.

Theatre Criticism, Looking for Directions

Critica de teatru, în cautarea direciei

Author(s): Alexandra Ioana Cantemir,Anca Doina Ciobotaru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 20/2015

Keywords: Miruna Runcan

Theatre Criticism: Where To?, Miruna Runcan’s most recent book, published by Presa Universitară Clujeană, is a collection of essays in which the author uses the starting point she declares by the enticing question in the title in order to explore an array of issues regarding the mechanisms of production and reception of contemporary performances. ------------------------------------------ A Guide through a Maze of Ideas There are thousands of pages that have been written about Eugen Ionescu, Samuel Beckett and the theatre of the absurd; libraries worldwide stand as witnesses. Any new attempt is a sort of balancing act on the razor’s edge; and yet, Tamara Constantinescu takes this risk and takes advantage of her double training (theatre and journalism) to allure us into a new journey inside the world of the female (and not only) characters from the theatre of the absurd.The author withdraws in the background in order to give us the chance of approaching the cryptic bridges of the relation between the theatre of the absurd and our (non)dramatic daily lives, marked by “...disappointments, desperation or pieces of memories heavy with the regret of unfulfillment, of lost illusions, of bitter failure.” A world caught between oneiric and reality, inside which drama receives the reverberations of farce, and innocence the degree of logic. Time diluted in memories, spaces narrowed through immobility, frailty hidden in extreme gestures – all these are analysed and given meanings that can draw the reader closer to the core of the characters/couples in the study.

From Theatre to Cinema: The Representation of the Nazi Lager in the Transition from the Play The Deputy (1963) by Rolf Hochhuth to Its Film Adaptation Amen. (2002) by Costa-Gavras

Dal teatro al cinema: la rappresentazione del Lager nazista nel passaggio dal testo teatrale Il vicario (1963) di Rolf Hochhuth al suo adattamento cinematografico Amen. (2002) di Costa-Gavras

Author(s): Andrea Grassi / Language(s): Italian / Issue: 32/2023

Keywords: Auschwitz; Belzec; unrepresentable; Shoah; Hochhuth; Deputy; Costa Gravas;

Amen. (2002), by Costa-Gavras, is the film adaptation of the famous play The Deputy (1963), by Rolf Hochhuth. In general, Costa Gavras’ work is very faithful to Hochhuth’s original text: the intrigue is respected, same as the characters. Therefore, if we have chosen, with the following study, to focus our attention on the passage of Hochhuth’s text from the stage to the screen, it is in virtue of a purely aesthetic detail: in particular, we refer to those few scenes in which, both in the play and in the film, the dramatic action suddenly shifts to the interior of a Nazi extermination camp. So, how to represent the extermination, the Lager, on a theatrical stage? And how to do it, instead, on the screen? Given the way in which in theatre, possibly drawing more on the symbolic than on scenic verisimilitude, Hochhuth was able to dramatize horror, what solutions of continuity or rupture should be adopted, on the contrary, in cinema?

The reviewed study examines the condition of the disease in relation to the phenomenon of creativity, in the context of the problem of the position of female writers in the patriarchal society of the past fin de siècle.
