ROMEO AND JULIET concert
ROMEO AND JULIET concert
Carla Delphrates + Lenz Foundation
SHAKESPEARE < 1616-2016
Project for the four hundredth anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare
In this musical version for only actress voices, we want to enhance the expressiveness and sound of the tragic word of the work through the harsh and extreme score of the composer Carla Delphrates. The actor's voice becomes a dominant body of the vision, pathetic vocation of the love theme.
The language-monument of Romeo and Juliet fulfills the tragic destiny of the two heroes, the original act of their lips and tongue, intolerant to other than to the funeral and canine words of’ancient English and rises on the sound pedestal of the musical score.
In the Concerto the text is the victim of its bare syllable. The powerful explosion of the word does not find a meaning towards which to direct itself and disintegrates into the animal verb. E’ through the ringing language that the Love death Of Romeo and Juliet, their love and their tragic end, they are inextricably linked, like two aspects of one thing.
Dying language immediately “Is the day so young?” Too young is the day, Double rigoglio equal to himself in the only will of extreme sentiment, passion. The metamorphic world of the Latin verse of Ovid – Cuneo narrative of the Shakespearean text – It is a sound and rhythmic drift of Lenz's dramatization, who originated a scenic work to which views of truth and hard beauty are restored.
