Theatre ad Infinitum, London, Velika Britanija;
Svojom predstavom Odyssey Theatre ad infinitum ponovo
problematizira Homerov bezvremeni grčki mit. Jedan glumac. Jedan
sat. Čin jednoga čovjeka koji se pokušava vratiti svojoj obitelji i
krvavo se osvetiti.
U ovom se Odiseju riječi gotovo bez šava sljubljuju s
rukama, šakama, glasom i veličanstvenom pojavnošću likova, što je
na trenutak demonsko, na trenutak blaženo.
Siktanje, praskanje, trzanje i vrpoljenje vode nas od epizode do
epizode slavnoga epa, stalno varirajući zvuci i pokreti smještaju
se u te slavne Homerove fraze obojene "morem boje tamnoga
vina" i "zorom ružičastih prstiju" stvarajući novi
ritmizirani okvir koji sjajno sljubljuje svaki dio priče. Glas
moćnog i nepokolebljivog Odiseja u času zamjenjuje nježni falset
Nausikaje ili malaksalog feminiziranog Eurimaka (predvodnika
prosaca), dok se mi koji slušamo razdragano smijemo brzim i
okretnim preobrazbama našega vodiča na tom putovanju.
****
Theatre Ad Infinitum reinvent the timeless Greek myth. One
actor. One hour. One man's epic quest to reunite with his family
and seek his bloody revenge.
This is an Odyssey where words merge almost seamlessly with arms
and hands and voice and a magnificent creature of a face, by turns
demonic and beatific. Hisses, plosive blasts, sinewy twiches and
squirms lead us from one episode to the next, and it is these
shapeshifting sounds and actions which take the place of those
famous Homeric formulae, the 'wine-dark sea' and the 'rosy-fingered
dawn', creating a new rhythmic framework which glues this telling
into a fluid whole. A strong, steady Odysseus transforms into a
gently falsetto Nausicaa and an effete, high -camp Eurymacchus,
(leader of the suitors), and we listeners laugh with delight at the
transformations and the quickness of our guide.
