Blood and stone on stage: Peter Shaffer's tragic plays /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.O objetivo específico desta tese é analisar quatro peças de autoria de Peter Shaffer-The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Equus, Amadeus e Yonadab-observando o uso de técnicas teatrais e a relação com os princípios da tragédia propostos por Aristóteles na Poética. Elas são então comparadas com três importantes peças gregas-Prometeu Acorrentado, de Ésquilo, Édipo Rei, de Sófocles e Medéia, de Eurípides- uma vez que o objetivo geral do presente trabalho é descobrir se existe tragédia moderna, de que forma ela é apresentada nas peças de Shaffer, e em que ela difere da tragédia grega. Na análise empreendida verifica-se que as peças de Shaffer apresentam muitas afinidades com as tragédias gregas e observam vários dos princípios estabelecidos por Aristóteles. No entanto elas se constituem em exemplares genuínos de tragédia moderna, pois discutem questões sérias atuais e apresentam personagens desafiadoras que enfrentam situações complexas e dilemas éticos e metafísicos. Além disso, as peças de Shaffer apresentam enredos muito bem elaborados, que combinam com habilidade os vários recursos teatrais descritos, e culminam numa experiência envolvente de teatro. No primeiro capítulo o paradigma teórico da tese é apresentado e analisado-os elementos e recursos teatrais e a Poética de Aristóteles-, mostrando como eles são importantes para o estudo do teatro em geral e para a tragédia em particular. No segundo capítulo os vários itens da fundamentação teórica são aplicados às peças gregas selecionadas, mostrando como elas confirmam e como se desviam dos princípios aristotélicos. No terceiro capítulo, o mesmo é feito em relação às peças de Peter Shaffer. No quarto capítulo as peças de Peter Shaffer são comparadas às gregas, mostrando como um dramaturgo moderno, através de narrativas históricas e míticas, recria o drama trágico, usando os vários recursos teatrais disponíveis para transmitir uma perspectiva trágica da vida. A Conclusão é que, considerando as semelhanças e diferenças detectadas entre as peças de Shaffer e as gregas, as peças de Shaffer podem ser consideradas tragédias modernas relevantes, que resgatam uma visão trágica da vida, tão importante para os gregos, num contexto moderno

The Royal Hunt of the Sun: Peter Shaffer and the quest for God
No full textThis paper wishes to establish how Peter Shaffer\u27s great subject in his later plays and very particularly in The Royal Hunt of the Sun is the quest for some kind of god. The aging and spiritually depleted Pizarro embarks on a military and economic expedition which turns into a last-ditch spiritual quest for the Sun God Atahuallpa. After discussing the source for the play and the possible influence of Eugene O\u27Neill and Antonin Artaud, the essay goes on to demonstrate that god-hunting supplies the dramatic structure for Shaffer\u27s masterpiece and that the multiplicity of gods is the source of dramatic conflict within the structure. It often seems as if Shaffer actually would like to believe that his dramas reflect a battle of wills between a role-player and a person who is so unstructured and unrestricted that he is literally a primitive. In The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Shaffer is able to realize his dream and begins to associate the ritual with the primitive characters found in the play. Through the ritual, Pizarro is able to mature and, for the first time in his life, he learns how false his life has been. By his nonrealistic intermingling of space and time, Shaffer forces his audiences to embark on a god-hunt along with his characters
