SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Thyestes
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:by Hugo Claus, based on Seneca | Translated from Dutch by Rosemarie=0D=0AStill | Interdisciplinary production=0D=0A=0D=0A_“I am a king, for I can die whenever I want.”=0D=0A,_Thyestes in _*Thyestes*_=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0AA Family Story, based on the original sin of the forefather Tantalus,=0D=0Athe resulting curse of the Tantalids or Atreides, and its effects on=0D=0Athe grandchildren’s generation: Fearing that he might succeed to the=0D=0Athrone, Thyestes and Atreus murder their half-brother Chrysippos.=0D=0AThen—rejected by their common father—they flee to Mycenae. The=0D=0Aking there takes them in, entrusts them with the affairs of state when=0D=0Ahe goes to war, and dies on the battlefield. Whereupon a bitter power=0D=0Astruggle erupts between the brothers, ending with Atreus’s sole rule=0D=0Aand Thyestes’s exile. But the curse of the Atreides has not yet=0D=0Araged to its fullest: Years later, Atreus lures the exiled brother=0D=0Aback under the pretext of fraternal reconciliation, and what happens=0D=0Anext shatters the cosmic order. The sun turns away, the day gives way=0D=0Ato darkness, and the future already suffers from the continuation of=0D=0Athe horror. “So it was. And it will be no different,” lament those=0D=0Awho are peace-loving. “The mighty wheel turns in vain through=0D=0Atime—think of the families tearing each other apart, of palaces=0D=0Aburned to the ground, of kingdoms vanishing like dew, of the gods who=0D=0Aare ever silent, ever fleeing.”=0D=0A=0D=0AJoanna Lewicka, Schwerin’s new director of drama, has worked in=0D=0AGermany, Poland, and Cambodia, among other places. Her production of=0D=0A*A Midsummer Night’s Dream* was named the Cultural Event of the Year=0D=0A2012 by *Gazeta Wyborcza*; she received, among other honors, the=0D=0APolish Stanisław Hebanowski Prize “Klasyka Żywa IV,” was=0D=0Anominated for Best Music Theater Direction in Poland in 2020, was a=0D=0Afellow of the Berlin Senate and the Polish Ministry of Culture,=0D=0Areceived a research grant from the Performing Arts Fund, was featured=0D=0Ain the Polish Dance Platform in 2022 and 2024, and was awarded the=0D=0AGerman Theater Prize DER FAUST in 2024 for her _production of=0D=0A*Antigone*_ at the Theater Plauen-Zwickau.=0D=0AShe will open the 2026/2027 season with Hugo Claus’s _*Thyestes*_,=0D=0Abased on Lucius Annaeus Seneca, whose ancient tragedy sought to=0D=0Acondemn atrocities such as human sacrifice, cannibalism, and=0D=0Aintrafamilial bloodshed—and—still relevant today—tells of the=0D=0Adevastating consequences of these horrors.=0D=0A
