Why are women taking centre stage, such as Antigone, Medea, Electra and Eurydice, in the revival of myths in the 20th century? The emergence of the character of Eurydice in the 20th century is the image of the modern woman who is no longer immanent. She no longer embodies the inspirational woman of the Thracian singer, nor the unknown nymph as in the origins of the myth. Nor is she the woman who fulfils her biological destiny without deep questioning. She is not the woman who does not think about her existence. In the re-actualisations of the myth of Eurydice, it is a question of a theatre of being where the question is perhaps not only what should I do but who am I? The myth of Eurydice deals with the question of identity, the identity crisis of the characters.
Autorenporträt
Naïg Thomé ha studiato Lettere moderne e Musicologia alla Sorbona di Parigi e ha dato unità alla sua ricerca preparando un dottorato in Estetica, rimasto incompiuto. Profondamente legata alla cultura germanica, e più in particolare a quella austriaca, ha dedicato il suo lavoro ai miti dell'antichità.
