It was in a drawer for five years, but finally the emblematic and provocative text of Friedrich Nietzsche saw the light of day. The fear of scandal called for prudence when making the Antichrist known. Also at the Classics Festival, and later at Temporada Alta (Sala La Planeta de Girona, 7/XII) they are cautious but daring and program this text in monologue format with the actor Pol López.
“Nietzsche places Christianity at the origin of all evil, which has made us deny reality, science and live subjugated”, says Sira Abenoza, from the Classics Festival.
The director of dramaturgy, Victoria Szpunberg, will premiere the text in a unique place, full of science: the anatomical amphitheater of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Catalonia, which will add an impressive setting to the words of the German philosopher.
“The Antichrist is an exciting text, because it is irreverent and deeply dangerous. It criticizes the concept of pity, compassion and victim, which we constantly use today. Szpunberg adds: “I have given up on doing a dramaturgy, but if it were done, it would be Nietzsche against Nietzsche.”
Pol López will read a selection of the best fragments of this work, in a co-production of Temporada Alta and the Clàssics Festival, which is complemented by the words of Simone Weil, which Míriam Iscla said in the cathedral of Girona and which on November 22 will speak at the field hospital of the Santa Anna church in Barcelona.
