Title : Complete Theater - Volume 2 - Aristophanes - book
Summary :
Through laughter, Aristophanes brings the joy of carnivalesque utopias into the confines of theaters. In The Birds, men weary of earthly bickering join the city of birds to found a new kingdom and compete with the gods for the aroma of sacrifices. On the other hand, it is the world of men that the women of Lysistrata contest: seeing no end to the war, they begin a sex strike, asserting the rights of love and pleasure against the devastation of weapons. The women's chorus of Thesmophoria will extend this hedonistic plea by ridiculing Euripides' misogyny. And that of The Assembly of Women will impose the reign of femininity, by realizing the community of goods that men have contented themselves with dreaming of. As an actor, Aristophanes takes the side of the overthrown orders and enthusiastically joins the joyful procession of rebellious women. Two-volume edition.
