"Griegos" y "Edipo R.", dos interpelaciones al teatro contemporáneo desde la ética griega

Abstract

Griegos , Esquilo´s version of Agamemnon , directed and adapted for the stage by Daniela Martín, and Edipo R. Sophocles' version of the piece, directed and adapted for the stage by Luciano Delprato, deal with greek tragedy from poetic perspectives which are different but also closely tied. Both of them question theatrical representation as a social space of world subjectivism. In Griegos , the lack of physical limits between reality and ficcion restates our condition as spectators into actors/participants of the action. In Edipo R. , the tragic problem is brought up to date in its political perspective by means of wooden dolls and manipulators/actors who make a show of representation mechanisms to summon the spectators as passive accomplices of the fatality of the fiction. Both plays focus on the question of the encounter with the spectators, offering a way to view and know theater as a collective revelation of the world.
