Comedy by DRPopescu
\nNational premiere<\/p>\n
Artistic director: Ion Deloreanu<\/strong> In "Parallel Lives", Plutarch records the historical event of Caesar's kidnapping by a group of pirates and describes how the Roman leader amused his captors, writing poems and speeches that he then recited: "those he disliked he called downright rude and barbaric and often threatened them, laughing, with hanging. The pirates were delighted with Caesar's behavior, considering his audacity as simplicity and a joke."\u201e<\/p>\n This historical event is taken up by DR Popescu as a pretext to create a play that questions the idea of tyranny, force, dictatorship. Prisoner, Caesar sees his entire future: the victories he has won, the power he will hold in the Roman Empire, his love for Cleopatra, even his assassination in the Senate. Contrary to the known historical course of events, Caesar is assassinated by the Pirate Captain, who decides to take his place and play out the scenario advanced by Caesar. But the Captain will, in turn, be suppressed by the Weak One, so that the series of usurpers could continue, endlessly, from one era to another. The identity of the possible\/future Roman emperor is lost; a dictator bearing the name of Caesar will still exist, but it will no longer be known exactly who he was.<\/p>\n The composite style, sprinkled with parodic or historical anticipation elements, absurd and grotesque humor, work together to outline a theme with resonance in Romanian society at that time: the mechanism of formation of the dictator. Ultimately, the play suggests that the masks, the costumes, the times change, but the essence \u2013 the necessity of dictatorship \u2013 remains the same.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n Caesar:\u00a0 Jean Sandulescu<\/strong> Technical director: Dalma Simionescu ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comedie de D.R.Popescu Premier\u0103 pe \u0163ar\u0103 Regia artistic\u0103:\u00a0 Ion Deloreanu Scenografia:\u00a0 Tatiana Manolescu Uleu Coregrafia:\u00a0 Gabriela Taub Muzica de scen\u0103:\u00a0 Mihai Vasilescu Data premierei:\u00a0 1 noiembrie 1968 \u00cen \u201eVie\u0163i paralele\u201d, Plutarh consemneaz\u0103 evenimentul istoric al r\u0103pirii lui Cezar de c\u0103tre un grup de pira\u0163i \u015fi descrie modul \u00een care conduc\u0103torul roman \u00eei amuza pe r\u0103pitorii […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-arhiva":[494],"class_list":["post-10046","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
