THEATER Y & HANDKE'S "BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF ARANJUEZ"
JuJune 11th.
i wasn't going to let anything interfere with the completion of SCREEN MEMORIES, nor translate at all any more. However, friends in Chicago prevailed & I am delighted they did. Besides, aside some months of rewriting and a few bits SCREEN MEMORIES is done.
What a piece of European poetic eroticism ARANJUEZ is! Handke's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and the language is what's hot, geil, Shakespeare thus enjoins the audience's imagination. The mood is autumnal, but precise..
Schiller, Don Carlos, 1. ASkt, 1.Auftritt:
Domingo.
Die schönen Tage in Aranjuez
Sind nun zu Ende. Eure königliche Hoheit
Verlassen es nicht heiterer. Wir sind
Vergebens hier gewesen. Brechen sie
Dies rätselhafte Schweigen; öffnen sie
Ihr Herz dem Vaterherzen, Prinz! Zu teuer
Kann der Monarch die Ruhe seines Sohns –
Des einz’gen Sohns – zu teuer nie erkaufen.
(Carlos sieht zur Erde und schweigt.)
