Description

Στις Βάκχες του Γκάρντεφ τίθεται ένα καίριο ερώτημα σχετικά με την ανοχή της κοινωνίας στην αποσταθεροποίηση. Πώς μεταβολίζεται στον συλλογικό οργανισμό το συμβάν –διανοητικά, ψυχικά, πολιτικά– πριν μετατραπεί σε τραύμα; Το έργο λειτουργεί ως αναμέτρηση με τα όρια της ευταξίας, δοκιμάζοντας την αντοχή κανόνων και θεσμών. Στον Ευριπίδη, η διονυσιακή μανία δεν είναι μια αθώα γιορτή αλλά δοκιμασία της ίδιας της ιδέας του πολιτισμού, που ωθεί στα άκρα τη διατήρηση του ελέγχου, των ηθών/εθών, των νόμων και της αυτοεικόνας μας. (EL)

In Gardev’s “The Bacchae”, a critical question takes centre stage: how much destabilisation can a society endure? How does the collective body metabolise an event – mentally, psychologically, and politically – before it hardens into trauma? The tragedy becomes a reckoning with the limits of orderliness, testing the resilience of both rules and institutions alike. In Euripides’ vision, Dionysian ecstasy is no carefree celebration; it is a trial for civilisation itself, pushing to extremes our obsession with control, custom, law, and self-image. As the director himself stresses: “The Bacchae” ventures further than any other tragedy into the territory of irrational impulse and madness. So far, indeed, that it becomes perilous even for its audience, who are invited to confront their innermost fears and most potent fears. The atavistic dread of civilisation’s collapse does not reside solely in the dramatis personae; it nests within the collective unconscious, where communities forge myths to shield themselves. From this premise, an unsettling parallel emerges with the experience of Balkan nationalisms, in which bigotry – a politicised fear of the Other – transforms difference into a threat, something to be repelled, contained, or forcibly assimilated. Therefore, the tragedy is founded upon the delusion and folly of believing that whatever cannot be contained within language and law may simply be banished. Yet, when humanity denies its murky kinship with the irrational, it does not eradicate it; it drives it into cavernous depths, from which it almost always returns, more feral than before. (EN)
