Lear z ducha muzyki
Lear from the Spirit of Music

Summary/Abstract: The brick Hall on Purkyniego Street in Wrocław hosts the latest play by Pieśni Kozła Theater, Lear's Songs (premiere: 28 IX 2012). The director, Grzegorz Bral, plays the role of a narrator-conductor, who “gives the collective song the form of a play, directing its progress, but also disrupting the dramaturgy.” The tragic story of Lear and Cordelia is told in the songs, upon which is built the performance's entire dramaturgy. As the review's title suggests, and as Nietzsche suggested, “tragedy has a musical structure.”
