The Trojan Women – Sandros. Debunking Or Rather Reiterating Tragic?
The Trojan Women – Sandros. Debunking Or Rather Reiterating Tragic?

Summary/Abstract: The concept of “tragic”, derived from the Greek tragikos, signifies the existence of a conflict which solves, after numerous obstacles, with the death or defeat of certain heroes, certain aims or social values. One can invoke a contemporary tragic. A gross form of tragic, bitter and passionate, meant to be understood by the audience as a scenic metaphor: a tragic of the question, of the answer which we are afraid to find out. The conscience of our own defacement, of our almost fatidic failure... So, we do shift to Antiquity. The sense of error is primary for the autochthonous being. It is the case of the Hungarian dramatic writer Katalin Thuroczy, who presents her original view upon a well known text, The Trojan Women by Euripides. Sandros, a play with a real poetic force, translates into postmodern language the story of war and women.
