Description
With an artistic journey that weaves prose and opera, conducted along the lines of a philosophical and film training, Andrea De Rosa is now recognized as a new member of that director's theater offering ever new to the contemporary poetry for the stage.
As part drama, his attention rest with particular curiosity in the world of classical and myth, paving the way for experiments that plumb the modernity of texts timeless. De Rosa through them with capillary inlay of the word and spirit of innovation in the use of languages in sound, video and multimedia, producing images, actions, relationships that are meat and voice actor together classic and visceral.
Thematically, if you want to follow a thread that binds some of his choices of route, marks the node of a love understood as blinding drive, to track archetypal dramas in more settled in the Western theatrical repertoire, as it is for the figure of Phaedra, who he faces through the work of Seneca, in an original and frontal dialogue with Euripides: if the Latin author rewrites the greek myth freeing it from the link with the fate and the design of the gods, and delivered in this way to man's responsibility, De Rosa finds himself, through the Greek source, a dialogue with the gods, to contemplate the immensity of the forces that dominate the man.
"The power of God that serves both Euripides to Seneca to explain and describe the mysterious and powerful fatal nature of falling, a chaotic force that overwhelms us making us lose the orientation and literally drag us out of ourselves - says the director, Andrea De Rosa -. Attributing that power to a god means, still, for us, to recognize something that is not under the control of the will and reason. This is the reason why we remain fascinated and terrified to see Phaedra away more and more in an area from which it will be unable to go further back, attracted by an imponderable strength and mysterious. "
Phaedra, wife of Theseus, king of Athens, burning with passionate love for his son to bed early, Ippolito. The young man, a descendant of the Queen of the Amazons, attracted by the promise of innocence inherent in nature, devoted to hunting and detached from family ties, rejected the offer of the queen, who meditate on him a fierce vengeance of which will author the unsuspecting Theseus. The tragedy is fulfilled up to the violent death of Hippolytus and Phaedra's suicide.
