Historical, entirely unhistorical comedy in four acts by Friedrich D\u00fcrrenmatt
\nTranslation: Aurel Buteanu and H. Radian<\/p>\n
Directed by: Sanda Manu<\/strong> In \u201eRomulus the Great\u201d, Friedrich D\u00fcrrenmatt intentionally falsifies history: the last emperor of Rome, Romulus, is not the child emperor known to history, but a skeptical philosopher, who consciously dismantles the empire. While the ancient world is dying around him, he finds a purpose in raising chickens, which he names after the last Roman emperors (the hen named after Odoacer \u2013 the Visigothic conqueror \u2013 is the most productive in eggs). For years he plays the fool and no one in his entourage realizes that this extravagance is, in fact, a method. Historical events and figures are modernized and trivialized in a manner reminiscent of GB Shaw and contributes to the dismantling of the commonplaces of historical thought and literature. According to them, the collapse of an empire necessarily takes on tragic connotations. On the contrary, in the Swiss playwright's play, this event even has comic valences, with subtle ironies directed at history and its personalities. As the author himself mentions, "The tragedy of the play lies in the comedy of its end: the retirement of Romulus by Odoacer", a lucid leader who understands that with the takeover of the conquered territories, the problems of the defeated empire will also be taken over and that his new power will also be crushed and condemned. Theodoric already appears on the horizon of history.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Romulus Augustus:\u00a0 George Musceleanu<\/strong> Technical director: Elena Varlam Comedie istoric\u0103, cu totul neistoric\u0103, \u00een patru acte de Friedrich D\u00fcrrenmatt Traducerea:\u00a0 Aurel Buteanu \u015fi H.Radian Regia:\u00a0 Sanda Manu Scenografia:\u00a0 Traian Ni\u0163escu Data premierei:\u00a0 30 septembrie 1967 \u00cen \u201eRomulus cel Mare\u201d, Friedrich D\u00fcrrenmatt falsific\u0103 \u00een mod inten\u0163ionat istoria: ultimul \u00eemp\u0103rat al Romei, Romulus, nu este \u00eemp\u0103ratul-copil cunoscut de istorie, ci un filosof sceptic, care destram\u0103 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-arhiva":[494],"class_list":["post-10038","arhiva","type-arhiva","status-publish","hentry","categorie-arhiva-unsorted"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
