Artistic direction: N.Al.Toscani <\/strong>(National Theatre "ILCaragiale" Bucharest) The historical drama "Caesar and Cleopatra" has as its starting point the events in Egypt in 47 BC, the civil war for the throne between the two brothers - Cleopatra and Ptolemy and the interference of the Roman emperor in its development. Shaw's play, however, demystifies history, emphasizing the discrepancy that exists between the legend surrounding the historical figures and the reality behind it. Cleopatra, a sixteen-year-old girl, is captured both in the guise of a teenager overflowing with eroticism and as a sovereign quickly learning the secrets of diplomacy, hiding behind her first mask. Caesar seems to give up the heroic posture, appearing tired of his historical role, cynical, but showing an inventiveness that ensures his power. In addition, Shaw demonstrates that it was not love that played the main role in the story of the two ancient rulers, but politics, showing the connections between the Roman and Egyptian conquerors. The play abounds in anachronisms and time jumps, even alluding to the policy of conquest pursued by England in the author's contemporary period. He suggests (directly in the prologue spoken by the god Ra) that the two millennia of civilization and technological evolution have not improved the way of life of humans and have not changed them significantly.<\/p>\n Distribution:<\/p>\n The God Ra:\u00a0 Ben Dumitrescu<\/strong> de\u00a0 G.B.Shaw Traducerea:\u00a0 Petru Comarnescu Regia artistic\u0103:\u00a0 N.Al.Toscani (Teatrul Na\u0163ional \u201eI.L.Caragiale\u201d Bucure\u015fti) Scenografia:\u00a0 Tatiana Manolescu Uleu Ilustra\u0163ia muzical\u0103:\u00a0 ing.Lucian Ionescu (Radioteleviziunea Rom\u00e2n\u0103 Bucure\u015fti) Coregrafia:\u00a0 Eva Omb\u00f3di Data premierei:\u00a0 7 iunie 1969 Drama istoric\u0103 \u201eCezar \u015fi Cleopatra\u201d are ca punct de pornire evenimentele din Egipt din 47 \u00ee.e.n., r\u0103zboiul civil pentru ocuparea tronului \u00eentre cei doi […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-arhiva":[494],"class_list":["post-10052","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
