RaiNews: Cinquanta anni fa ci lasciava Luchino Visconti, l'omaggio della Scala

Tra le opere teatrali che diresse: “A porte chiuse” (1945) di Jean-Paul Sartre e “Medea” (1953) di Euripide. Al cinema portò sul grande schermo capolavori come "Il Gattopardo", "Ossessione" e "Morte a Venezia"

Fifty years ago, Luchino Visconti, the Scala’s tribute, left us.

Among the theatrical works he directed: “A Door Closed” (1945) by Jean-Paul Sartre and “Medea” (1953) by Euripides. He brought masterpieces to the big screen such as “The Leopard,” “Obsession,” and “Death in Venice.”

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: I hope the man who does not honour his friends, the man who does not open an honest heart to them, I hope that man dies a horrible, a miserable death. Such a man will certainly never be a friend of mine!

[ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: ἀχάριστος ὄλοιθ᾽ ὅτῳ πάρεστιν
   μὴ φίλους τιμᾶν καθαρᾶν ἀνοί-
   ξαντα κλῇδα φρενῶν: ἐμοὶ
   μὲν φίλος οὔποτ᾽ ἔσται.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 659ff, Antistrophe 2 (431 BC) [tr. Theodoridis (2004)]

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: May I know the blessing of a heart that is not passion’s slave; no fairer gift can the gods bestow. But may the dread Cyprian never inflict upon me quarrelsome moods and insatiable strife, firing my heart with love for a stranger; may she rather show respect for marriages where peace reigns and judge with a shrewd eye the loves of women.

ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: στέργοι δέ με σωφροσύνα, δώρημα κάλλιστον θεῶν:
μηδέ ποτ᾽ ἀμφιλόγους ὀργὰς ἀκόρεστά τε νείκη
θυμὸν ἐκπλήξασ᾽ ἑτέροις ἐπὶ λέκτροις
προσβάλοι δεινὰ Κύπρις, ἀπτολέμους δ᾽
εὐνὰς σεβίζουσ᾽ ὀξύφρων
κρίνοι λέχη γυναικῶν.

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 636ff, Second Stasimon, Antistrophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Davie (1996)]

MEDEA
von Euripides am Berliner Ensemble in der Inszenierung von #MichaelThalheimer ist ein wahres Monument der Sprache. Wie #ConstanzeBecker das gestaltet, ist berührend, erschütternd, erschreckend und dabei von großer Klarheit. Wieder einmal ein großer, zeitloser Theaterabend am BE.
Bravo.

Heute sehe ich mir im Berliner Ensemble
MEDEA

#ConstanzeBecker (als Medea) erhielt dafür 2013 den deutschen Theaterpreis "Der Faust" als beste Schauspielerin. Ich bin sehr gespannt.

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: Visitations of love that come
   Raging and violent on a man
   Bring him neither good repute nor goodness.
   But if Aphrodite descends in gentleness
   No other goddess brings such delight.

[ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: ἔρωτες ὑπὲρ μὲν ἄγαν ἐλθόντες οὐκ εὐδοξίαν
   οὐδ᾽ ἀρετὰν παρέδωκαν ἀνδράσιν: εἰ δ᾽ ἅλις ἔλθοι
   Κύπρις, οὐκ ἄλλα θεὸς εὔχαρις οὕτως.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 627ff, Second Stasimon, Strophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]
