Wędrówki psychoanalityczne – na własną odpowiedzialność
Natalia Jakubowa. Psychoanalitic Journeys – At Your Own Risk

Summary/Abstract: Natalia Jakubowa’s article is devoted to three operas directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov. The first part of the text covers Claude Debussy’s Pélleas and Mélisande (Opernhaus in Zurich, premiere: 08.05.2016). The director situates the story from Maeterlinck’s drama against a backdrop of psychotherapy, stressing the role of language as a medium for images of the unconscious. Jakubowa chiefly focuses on creations of the protagonists and the nature of Debussy’s music, weighted toward the uconscious. The second part of the text concerns Bluebeard’s Castle by Béla Bartók, which is shown as a prologue with Peter Eötvös’ Senza Sangue. In the prologue, based on Alessandra Baricco’s novella, the issue is the cause of the ambivalent relationship between a woman and her assailant. Jakubowa points out the usefulness of therapeutic categories in interpreting Bluebeard’s Castle and stresses how conssitently the director merges the characters in Eötvös’ and Bartók’s operas.
