Howard Barker

    28. červen 1946

    Howard Barker je britský dramatik, který proslul jako tvůrce Teatru katastrofy. Jeho hry, jež zkoumají temná zákoutí lidské duše a společenské struktury, byly uvedeny po celém světě. Barker je známý svým náročným, poetickým jazykem a provokativními tématy, které často zpochybňují morální jistoty. Jeho inovativní přístup k divadelní tvorbě z něj činí jednu z nejvýraznějších postav současného britského dramatu.

      Barker's radical reinterpretation of Chekhov's classic transforms Vanya's defeat into a triumph, exploring themes of desire and societal implications. "A House of Correction" delves into the impact of a messenger's arrival on three women's lives amid impending war. "Let Me" captures the profound solitude and rage during the Roman Empire's barbarian invasions. Additionally, "Judith" reexamines the heroine's role during Israel's conflict with the Assyrians, while "Lot and His God" juxtaposes Sodom's destruction with moral decay and erotic awakening.
