Boleslaw's Curse
So who suffers the greater agony, the cursed or the curser? Don't ask Boleslaw because he won't be able to tell you. There you have it, a most vexing quandary. Truth be told, if it hadn't been for the psychoanalyst who age-regressed Godfrey Christopher, a distraught divorce, to a traumatic childhood incident during one of his therapy sessions, the people and events that ultimately provoked Boleslaw's curse might never have been revealed. While in this hypnagogic state, Godfrey is confronted by a man he had met only recently and later realizes that the individual evoked by his subconscious mind appears not to have aged one iota in the intervening thirty years pursuant to the incident. While a...
Staging of Classical Drama around 2000
Classical drama on the modern stage as a cultural and political phenomenon is scholarly trailed since the 1950s and 60s and intensified in the last third of the twentieth century. The evidence is being extensively documented, pioneered by Walton (1987) and McDonald (1992) and subsequently developed by collaborative research projects which include published databases. It is clear from the work of these projects that performance of classical drama is a major feature in all types of theatre – avant-garde and experimental, student, international and fringe, epic and classical, commercial, popular and canonical. This means that it is closely intertwined with the politics of locale, environment and geography as well as of language, translation and culture. Each of the essays has a specialised contribution to make. However, the total impact of the whole section will be even greater than the sum of the parts because the authors not only intersect in their discussions of common concerns in modern performance of ancient drama but also provide case studies that will add to the knowledge base and critical acumen of everyone working in the field.
When God Looked the Other Way
Often overlooked in accounts of World War II is the Soviet Union's quiet yet brutal campaign against Polish citizens, a campaign that included, we now know, war crimes for which the Soviet and Russian governments only recently admitted culpability. Standing in the shadow of the Holocaust, this episode of European history is often overlooked. Wesley Adamczyk's gripping memoir, When God Looked the Other Way, now gives voice to the hundreds of thousands of victims of Soviet barbarism. Adamczyk was a young Polish boy when he was deported with his mother and siblings from their comfortable home in Luck to Soviet Siberia in May of 1940. His father, a Polish Army officer, was taken prisoner by the ...
Frühstück mit Leviathan
Der dritte Band der Reihe Drama Panorama beinhaltet sieben aktuelle Theaterstücke von Roman Sikora, einem der wichtigsten politischen Dramatiker*innen Tschechiens. Sikora verbindet Kapitalismuskritik mit einer theatralen Analyse der Machtstrukturen einer von der Marktwirtschaft dominierten Gesellschaft, in der sich Ausbeutung und egoistisches Profitdenken bis in die intimsten Sphären der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen gefressen haben. Seine Figuren sprechen eine Kunstsprache aus Redundanzen und Satzfetzen, die alltägliche Redewendungen und Idiome zerlegt. Sikoras Theaterstücke sind bittere und sarkastische Komödien mit viel Gespür für die grotesken Absurditäten der heutigen Gesells...
