  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-68152-1 — Greek Theatre between Antiquity and Independence Walter Puchner , Assisted by Andrew White Frontmatter More Information i GREEK THEATRE BETWEEN ANTIQUITY AND INDEPENDENCE Th is fi rst general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather diff erent. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the Greek- speaking world for centuries because of the Orthodox Church’s hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. Th e following centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic approaches and ideologies. Th ese diverse develop- ments were only ‘normalized’ with the establishment of the Greek nation state. WALTER PUCHNER is an emeritus professor in the Department of Th eatre Studies at the University of Athens. He has published more than eighty books and about 400 articles in academic journals. His research interests include the history of theatre in the Balkan Peninsula, the comparative folklore and ethnography

  • Aristophanes in Performance 421 BC–AD 2007
    an offprint from Aristophanes in Performance 421 BC–AD 2007 Peace, Birds and Frogs ❖ EDITED BY EDITH HALL AND AMANDA WRIGLEY Modern Humanities Research Association and Maney Publishing Legenda: Oxford, 2007 C H A P T E R 16 ❖ A Poet without ‘Gravity’: Aristophanes on the Italian Stage Francesca Schironi Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Aristophanes has enjoyed a certain public profile: I have counted at least seventy-four official productions that have taken place in Italy since 1911. The most popular play by far seems to be Birds, which has taken the stage in sixteen different productions. Clouds is also reasonably popular, having been staged in twelve different productions. There have also been some interesting rewritings and pastiches of more than one play. But particularly striking is the relative infrequency with which Frogs — in my view one of Aristophanes’ most engaging comedies — has been produced: it has only seen public performance twice, in 1976 and in 2002.1 Indeed, it is one of those two productions of Frogs that attracted my attention: the most recent one, directed by Luca Ronconi at Syracuse in May 2002. As most people know by now, this performance excited many discussions, in Italy,2 as well as abroad,3 because of widespread suspicion that it had incurred censorship at the hands of Berlusconi’s government. I would like to reconsider this episode, not only because it is both striking and ambiguous, but above all because on closer inspection it seems to me a particularly good illustration of how theatre, and in particular ancient Greek and Roman theatre, ‘works’ in Italy.

  • The Ancient Greek Comedy on the Modern Greek Stage
    Aristophanes through Lysistrata: The Ancient Greek Comedy on the Modern Greek stage Kaiti Diamantakou – Agathou Associate Professor University of Athens Notwithstanding the unquestionable popularity of the hybrid and liminal Plutus for the survival and revival of Aristophanes in Greece and throughout the world,1 it was another Aristophanic comedy that became associated with the most important and the most profound social, aesthetic and ideological turning points in the reception of Aristophanes by the modern Greek scene up to the present day. The play in question is Lysistrata of 411 BC, a typical “political comedy” of the classical era largely neglected in the scriptorial, publishing and theatrical tradition,2 but also the one which has enjoyed the widest –and continuously increasing– international appeal since the beginning of the 20th century, as women’s emancipation has been constantly gaining ground in a world still ravaged by wars, civil or otherwise. 3 If in the politically correct Plutus Aristophanes “became the most productive and adaptable personality of the classical and recent Greek heritage” 4, in the unorthodox Lysistrata –in which profanity, contemporary political satire, and gender relations and reversals abound– the comic poet tested the adaptability and resilience of his specific idiom in different historical and theatrical settings, inviting artists from every age to give their own answers –well-grounded or not, but always dynamic– to the challenging questions that recur in the treatment of his work and of its component parts. Αristophanes’ exclusion and post-war total recall Already in the beginning of the 20th century the interest of critics and the broad audience was focused on the male-dominated performances of Assemby women in the Nea Skini (New Scene) of Constantinos Christomanos (August 1904) and of Lysistrata in the Municipal Theatre of Athens (January 1905), both translated by Polyvios Dimitrakopoulos.

  • Contemporary Greek Theatre Productions and the Issue of Identity Grigoris Ioannidis
    75 “Facing Mirrors”: Contemporary Greek Theatre Productions and the Issue of Identity Grigoris Ioannidis Αt the dawn of the twenty-first century, Greek theatre began an open dis - cussion with each one of the components that had hitherto constituted its identity, sporadically at first, but with increasing intensity in the following years. Although this discussion was initially broad, including new as well as older theatre-makers, writers, directors, and actors, its most interesting and challenging part concerned mainly young artists. This change was brought about by a number of factors that will undoubtedly be part of future Greek Theatre Studies. A brief mention will nevertheless be made of a few factors that deserve special attention. A key reason for this change was the profound crisis within the institutions that, until recently, had provided the foundation for the identity of the Greek theatrical tradition. This problem, which dates back to the past and was not necessarily a by-product of the recent economic crisis, concerns a younger generation of artists, who felt that the questions of citizenship and cultural identity that had nourished the post-dictatorship theatrical world were now obsolete and had lost their relevance. Over the years, the issue of identity had started nurturing intro - version and became a matter of convenience. The new generation of the - atre-makers could clearly see that theatrical developments abroad had left Greek theatre and theatre criticism far behind, and felt more and more strongly the urge to catch up with the dictates of the international scene. In this context, there was abundant evidence indicating that Greek theatre was in the grip of a subtle collusion that backed the post-dictatorship theatrical status quo and left no room for experimentation.

More specifically, the work for stage put effort in the acting method, with which the chorus and the main characters can be approached. For that reason, the basic method adopted was that of J. Lecoq, and especially the ‘transference’ practice. Moreover, specific elements were selected from the methods of: the Laboratory theatre of J.

  • Re-Imagining the Past Antiquity and Modern Greek Culture ABSTRACTS in ALPHABETICAL ORDER
    Re-imagining the Past Antiquity and Modern Greek Culture ABSTRACTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER Effie F. Athanassopoulos [email protected] Classical vs. Byzantine pasts in the nineteenth century: Athenian monuments and archaeological practice This paper examines the changing role of Byzantium in the Greek national narrative of the nineteenth century and its relation to archaeological practice. The Modern Greek state, influenced by the European admiration for classical Greece, chose to emphasize cultural continuity with the classical past. In contrast, Byzantium was viewed as a long dark age, an alien past, which interfered with the efforts of the re- born state to establish an unbroken link with classical antiquity. Thus, the ‘purification’ of Athens was carried out by archaeologists who shared these views and felt little sympathy for the material remains of the Byzantine era. Concern for the protection of the Byzantine monuments was slow to develop. It went hand in hand with the re-discovery and rehabilitation of Byzantium, a slow process which gained momentum in the 1850s with the work of Zambelios and Paparrigopoulos . The inclusion of Byzantium into the national narrative influenced the direction of Greek archaeology which gradually began to lose its exclusive classical emphasis. Still, the demolition of medieval structures such as the Frankish tower at the Propylaia (1875) did not stop. However, there was considerable opposition and the dismantling of the tower sparked an intense debate, a debate which will be examined here in some detail. A few years later, the Christian Archaeological Society was established, and the programmatic destruction of the remains of Medieval Greece gradually came to an end.
