SHADOW (Eurydice says) 2024

|

Elfriede Jelinek | Tirana 2024


Who asked Eurydice?

As Eurydice dies prematurely bitten by a snake, Orpheus ventures into the underworld to bring her back to life, charming Hades with his music.

But what happens, if Eurydice doesn't want to return? What if she refuses to be seen as the token of his love that he needs to redeem? What if she even discards the versions of female identity offered to her? Discards them like last season's clothes? Ancient Greek myth and modern female reality are closely intertwined in Elfriede Jelinek's text, addressing us through the perspective of an unexpected speaker. What if the object of desire itself raises her voice?

"I don´t need humans. I don´t want humans, I want clothes."

I take what I can get, and this here too and that there as well. It´s to die for. And so I die, but I don´t mind, I am dead already anyway...
