Giovanna Cerise presents "The eternal suspense", supported by the Linden Endowment for the Arts
Friedrich
Nietzsche publishes in 1871 "The birth of Greek tragedy" which
highlights, among other things, that the history of ancient Greece is an
interplay between the Apollonian and the Dionysian.
He flips
the classic interpretation that Greek art is essentially Apollonian,
thus expression of balance, harmony and measure. He also highlights
another aspect of Greek civilization, the one linked to Dionysus, the
Greek god symbol of chaos,of orgiastic drunkness,
Of the
vitality unleashed that knows no limits and measures. And the moment
when these two gods, Apollo and Dionysus, manage to find a balance is
the one of Greek tragedy of Aeschylus and Sophocles. This balance then
breaks especially with the prevalence appearance of rational and
concealment of Dionysian side ..
This concept linked to the
interpretation of art can be extended to our daily lives. The man is
poised between two or more emotions, he is always in a delicate step, in
a hazardous environment. Its location is never easy, he is a tightrope
imprisoned in constant tension between his Dionysian side and the
Apollonian one.
But you have really to choose? Or you have really to find a balance?....
The recommended setting is Sunset.
Come to visit, I hope to see you there
Giovanna
