What was the theatre of Athens like in the 5th century BC? What possibilities did it offer for the staging of Greek tragedies? How did the chorus and characters embody in this space – through voice, gesture, song, dance – the dramas performed during the Great Dionysia? Is it possible, and to what extent, to reconstruct the original staging of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides?
These are some of the questions answered, in a clear, precise, and well-documented manner, by Vincenzo Di Benedetto and Enrico Medda's book, La tragedia sulla scena ( 1st edition 1997), of which Christine Mauduit offers a French translation here. Intended for all those interested in Greek tragedy—amateurs or specialists, students, teachers, theater people—this book is a fascinating introduction to all aspects of tragic spectacle. It sheds light, as far as the documentation allows, on the uses of the stage and the formal models specific to tragedy, and thus attempts to restore essential aspects of the ancient theatrical experience, made up of an immediate and lively relationship with dramatic works, within the framework of the great festivals in honor of Dionysus. It also offers food for thought on the place of Greek tragedy in the culture of the city and opens perspectives on the category of tragedy as a fundamental human experience.
