  • Musica E Fiaba Riflessioni, Percorsi E Proposte Didattiche
    Paola Lenzi Musica e fiaba Riflessioni, percorsi e proposte didattiche Edizioni ETS, Pisa 2004 Panoramica sulle fiabe in musica tra Otto e Novecento Aladino (da Aladino e la lampada meravigliosa) fa parte dei racconti de Le mille e una notte e compare per la prima volta in forma scritta nella traduzione francese dell’orientalista Antoine Galland (1646-1715). Attraverso la versione francese di Galland, la fiaba di Aladino è diventata una delle più famose della raccolta ed è entrata nella cultura narrativa orale di quasi tutto il mondo. Lo scrittore danese Adam Gottlob Oehlen Schläger fece di Aladino il protagonista di una delle sue novelle, inserita nella raccolta Poetiske skifter (1805), trasformandolo in un ragazzo cinese. Uno dei motivi centrali della narrazione è quello della lampada meravigliosa che aiuta il protagonista. La storia, divenuta un tema letterario popolare, ha ispirato anche il teatro, l’opera lirica e più tardi il cinema (del 1942 il film Le mille e una notte di John Rawline, del 1990 Superfantagenio con Bud Spencer e del 1992 il lungometraggio animato Disney Aladdin, con mus. di Alan Menken e Howard Hashman, VHS 1995).

  • Tales to Astonish
    Tales to astonish Classic storytelling fuels Double Edge Theatre’s ‘The Arabian Nights’ Story by Don Stewart With a backdrop of a 100 acres of fields and woodlands, the only limits to the productions of Double Edge Theatre are the boundaries of the imagination. This month, a cast of 17 players will lead you to a variety of venues – a rushing stream, a well-tended garden and a post-and-beam barn, a floodlit meadow and a fantastical pond – as the stories of the “The Arabian Nights” unspool. The play, based upon tales known in the Middle Eastern culture as “The 1,001 Nights,” almost didn’t take flight. Although co-director and actor Matthew Glassman and actor Carlos Uriona were strongly attracted to the work, the company’s artistic director, Stacy Klein, had misgivings. “I thought it was too racy,” she said, a few days after a performance.”The book has a lot of sex and sexuality. As discussions continued, the trio became aware of the Russian artist Marc Chagall’s post-World War II color lithographs devoted to the theme of “The Arabian Nights.” The artist, best known for his childlike dreamscapes of fly- ing lovers and airborne animals, won a Venice Biennial award in 1948 for the series. The imagery won Klein over and provided a fresh idea for the play. Aladdin, played by Adam Bright, is taken on a flying carpet ride with the Genie, played by Hayley Brown in “The Arabian Nights.” “I saw Chagall’s paintings and then realized that it could Carlos Uriona, playing the vizier, uncle of Korsakov’s 1888 classical composition “Scheherazade,” in be much less (about sex) and more about flying and magic,” Aladdin, tricks Aladdin, Adma Bright, into which he set four stories to music.

  • Arab Stereotypes and American Educators
    Arab Stereotypes and American Educators by Marvin Wingfield and Bushra Karaman When American children hear the word "Arab," what is the first thing that often comes to mind? It might well be the Arabian Nights fantasy imagery in the Disney film "Aladdin," a film which has been very popular in theaters and on video and is sometimes shown in school classrooms. Yet Arab Americans have problems with this film. Although in many ways it is charming, artistically impressive and one of the few American films to feature an Arab hero or heroine, a closer look reveals some disturbing features. The film's light-skinned lead characters, Aladdin and Jasmine, have Anglicized features and Anglo American accents. This is in contrast to the other characters who are dark-skinned, swarthy and villainous - cruel palace guards or greedy merchants with "Arabic" accents and grotesque facial features. The film's opening song sets the tone: Oh, I come from a land, From a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam. Where they cut off your ear If they don't like your face. It's barbaric, but hey, it's home. Thus the film immediately characterizes the Arab world as alien, exotic and “other.” Arab Americans see this film as perpetuating the tired stereotype of the Arab world as a place of deserts and camels, of arbitrary cruelty and barbarism. Therefore, Arab Americans raised a cry of protest regarding “Aladdin.” The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) challenged Disney and persuaded the studio to change a phrase in the lyrics for the video version of the film to say: “It's flat and immense, and the heat is intense.
