Abstract
Directors and actors should consider some things during the staging of classical work. How their chosen play suits the Modernity, if it responds to the problems and questions, that people face today.
Reflecting the existed epoch of defined country might have been interesting for Ethnography museum, but not for the theatre viewer.
Robert Sturua has always bothered the level problem of a person in the tyrant country, so it was natural, that he applied to Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare’s staging by Robert Sturua reflects the human aspiration towards the power, mental and moral damages, what is caused by the power and human’s striving towards it. No matter whether person is object or subject of the authority..
Robert Sturua sets us Shakespeare’s “Richard III” in the form of tragic farce. Not all the heroes are blackguard in Shakespeare’s
“Richard III”. Everybody appeared to be ambitious and obsessed with the desire of striving for power, caused by the moving accents in the text, putting or razing out the cues, remaking and using such kind of means in the play.
In the play, director continues researching the problems of the person, tyranny, country and dictatorship in “The king Lear”. Sturua raised the terrible aspects of the tyranny, the left by the despot.
The Universe, what is shown by Sturua isn’t only the Lear’s Universe. It is the Universe existing around us, it is shown exactly by the mirror kind of reflection of the viewer hall on the stage. In “Macbeth” there is reflected struggle for the crown and power. Again evil, stealth and ruthless person gets the crown for what there is held the merciless struggle…
In the play, existing Universe around Macbeth is involved in a deep struggle for power. No one is sinless in this Universe, all of them are equal and everybody dreams about the crown. In the struggle of Royal crown sometimes win one or another.
