Zusammenfassung:
Jacqui Carroll's Oedipus production is a Physical Oratorio set on a simple three tier stage with minimal movement and simple classical drapery costumes. The text is a combination of Sophocles some Latin taken from Stravinsky's Oratorio, Oedipus Rex. The modern East European orchestral score, echoes the classical past, whilst adding intense emotional power and psychological penetration. Oedipus, with passion and energy, battles against the forces of destiny. Those eternal, implacable forces, according to the ancient Greeks, govern everyone's lives. In this drama of revelation upon revelation Oedipus and Jocasta gradually realise the tragic impact of their unwitting actions. The rest of the cast act as narrators, seers, witnesses, judges and juries in this theatrical lamentation. '...as those familiar with previous OzFrank productions can attest, Carroll and her company specialise in creating intelligent and lavish visual spectacles that stun, soar and absorb attention....'
