Albert Camus "KALIGULA" (rež. Jokūbas Brazys)

Albert Camus
Caligula
N-16 Albert's Camus' philosophical play "Caligula" storyline is historical, but it would be very inaccurate to consider it a traditional historical drama. The writer at Caligula was most concerned with expressing the ideas of denial and positive, absurd and rebellion, hope and faith in his philosophy and artistic consciousness. Still, the "Caligula" built by the director Jacob Brazi is not just about the Roman Empire, which is imprisoned on the boundary of insanity and his unbridled fantasy. The history of this Caligula played by actor Arthur Svorobovich is unfolding in the theater world where everything can become a tyranny tool: repertoire policy, boundaries of professional capabilities of colleagues, the official but not native language. In this interpretation of Caligula, Caligula is not so much burning her sister Druzil as she is involved in a funeral of a theater that is no longer and no longer, a theater that burns like a flame, which characters and stories are made of tears, blood and sweat. Caligula is a performance about changing theater and actor looking for its moon. Caligula itself can be interpreted both as a character, which has grown a sense of anxiety and dissatisfaction in the state of the modern world, and to purify the world - to baptize it by fire. Caligula here is a figure looking for a new path, radical change, with blood by purifying the old world. When both environmental problems and international conflicts are becoming more fierce, Caligula invites you to think about how personal and political will can affect the fate of the world. Caligula can be a symbolic reminder that choosing the right path in today's world isna is crucial. Are we choosing darkness and self -destruction, can we still find a way to save the world? "The action of the performance takes place in the theater cafe. It is a vague intermediate zone, a microcosm, where the waves of reality and illusions blend. The actions of Caligula - like artistic strife - reveal the dark side of human nature and consciousness. It not only raises questions, but is the attribute of human and celestial bodies. It announces that only the true being can be revealed. (Jacob Brazys)

Albert Camus (1913-1960)-French writer and philosopher, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, written in 1938. The play was not warmly met in its time, but in the German -occupied Paris, the novel "Alien" and the philosophical essay "Sisypho Myth", which appeared in World War II, allowed the whole to look at this text and thus Caligula struck all its meaning. A way of narrative as this has become the author's business card - A. Camus, who set out his philosophical thoughts in a philosophical essay, created a novel and a theater play, which, without the philosophical exertion, distinguished and indisputable artistic force.
