Abstract
The first theatre workshop related to the Greek Literature course was held in Cagliari during the academic year 2002-2003, when a re-reading of Aristophanes’ The Knights – (Lu Cavaglieri, that is Sausages in Power) – was performed in the classroom under the direction of Gaetano Marino. With the same director, we then performed Antigone’s Trial, accompanied by a discussion on the social, religious and juridical aspects of Sophocles’ tragedy (May 2004), Women in Power, an adaptation of Ecclesiazusae (2004-2005), and Orestes, from Myth to Madness (2005-2006). In 2005, the idea of broadening the concept of “art” to include literature as well gave rise to the annual event Words in Past, with readings from Erodotus (If a Night... Stories from The Herodotus and Once Upon a Time a King, Other Stories from Herodotus), Plato (Symposium, Socrates’s Apology), as well as from Theocritus, Homer, Apollonius Rhodius. In the past few years, the two experiments have been integrated: in the theatre workshop, students were joined by professional actors and actresses, who worked side by side with them in Pluto and Lysistrata (December 2009) and in a “test for production” (December 2010) which included scenes from Thesmophoriazuzae, The Enchantress and Women from Syracuse by Theocritus, and an interpretation of Medea by two actors.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
