Ájax

Theatre

Thursday 8 October · 19:00

Add to Google Calendar

A theatre piece based on Sophocles' tragedy Ajax that reflects on the limits of power and totalitarian threats, crossing the classical text with testimonies and artistic interventions.

Full details

Aïas or Ajax Telemone, or simply Ajax the Great, was regarded at the end of the Trojan War as the second-best Greek warrior, behind only Achilles. After his failed attempt to murder Ulysses and his army, Ajax falls into disgrace and kills himself. But his half-brother Teucer, despite the dishonour of the suicide and the opposition of Agamemnon and Menelaus, decides to grant him the honours he is due. Who, like Ajax, driven by primary instincts such as the urge for revenge for an injustice, has not been a victim of illusions caused either by their own frailties, by the intervention of others, or by an event or a particular social context? The information age – or rather, the age of the discrediting of information and the haze that so often surrounds its sources – is today the ideal context for the development and spread of cruel, unjust, anti-democratic and regressive political discourses, social measures and ideologies. Thus, little by little, the path is drawn towards the total eclipse of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of human dignity and of the rights of all sentient living beings, and deeply inhuman acts are thereby permitted, trivialised and disseminated globally. How to face this era, this time, this threat of complete and abysmal degradation of our civilisational values? We are therefore living under constant attacks on democracy and civilisational progress. The absence of dialogue, extremisms and the deafening noise of our time gain strength and carry out their attack by weakening thought and, consequently, discernment. Restrictions on freedom of expression, disinformation or its manipulation, and its political and economic exploitation undermine the heart of democracy. What to do in the face of the installed social dementia, in the face of the social hysteria manifested in consumerism and unbridled speed? Sophocles' Ajax is a reflection on the limits of power and also, it seems to us, a response to totalitarian and totalising threats. A response that comes from the depths of our civilisation and from the cradle of democracy. Starting from the text of Ajax, probably Sophocles' oldest tragedy, this show, which premieres at TMJB, takes a theatrical approach to the text and figure of Sophocles, crossing them with testimonies, narratives and artistic interventions in order to create an original and sharp object. What we propose, given the context we live in, is the presentation of a deeply human theatre that returns our gaze. An eye-to-eye theatre.

Show original (Portuguese)

Aïas ou Ájax Telemônio ou, simplesmente, Ájax, o Grande, era no fim da guerra de Tróia, tido como o segundo melhor guerreiro grego, apenas atrás de Aquiles. Com a tentativa gorada de assassinar Ulisses, e o seu exército, Ájax cai em desgraça e suicida-se. Mas o seu meio-irmão, Teucro, apesar da desonra do suicídio e da oposição de Ágamemnon e Menelau, decide prestar-lhe as honras devidas. Quem, como Ájax, levado por instintos primários como o ímpeto de vingança por uma injustiça, não foi vítima de ilusões causadas seja pelas suas próprias fragilidades, por intervenção de outros ou por um acontecimento ou um determinado contexto social? A era da informação ou, melhor, da descredibilização da informação e a névoa que tantas vezes envolve as suas fontes é, hoje, o contexto ideal, para o desenvolvimento e propagação de discursos políticos, medidas sociais e ideologias cruéis, injustas, anti-democráticas e regressivas. Assim, desenha-se a pouco e pouco o caminho para o total eclipse da declaração universal dos direitos humanos e da dignidade humana e dos direitos de todas as entidades vivas sencientes e, assim, se permitem, vulgarizam e disseminam globalmente actos profundamente desumanos. Como enfrentar esta era, este tempo, esta ameaça à degradação completa e abismal dos nossos valores civilizacionais? Vivemos, pois, constantes ataques à democracia e à evolução civilizacional. A ausência de diálogo, os extremismos e o ruído ensurdecedor do nosso tempo ganham força e perpetram o seu ataque através da fragilização do pensamento e, consequentemente, do discernimento. As limitações à liberdade de expressão, a desinformação, ou a sua manipulação, e o seu aproveitamento político e económico minam o coração da democracia. Que fazer perante a demência social instalada, perante o histerismo social manifestado no consumismo e na velocidade desenfreada? Ájax de Sófocles é uma reflexão sobre os limites do poder e é também, parece-nos, uma resposta às ameaças totalitárias e totalizantes. Uma resposta que vem do fundo da nossa civilização e do berço da democracia. Partindo do texto de Ájax , provavelmente a mais antiga tragédia de Sófocles, este espectáculo, que se estreia no TMJB, faz uma aproximação teatral ao texto e à figura de Sófocles, cruzando-os com depoimentos, narrativas e intervenções artísticas no sentido de criar um objecto original e acutilante. O que nos propomos, perante o contexto que vivemos, é a apresentação de um teatro profundamente humano e que nos retribua o olhar. Um teatro olhos nos olhos.
