Absztrakt

The characteristics of the a cappella musical score in the show “Biedermann and the Arsonists” by Max Frisch, director Tompa Gábor, music Vasile Șirli

The theatre performance is like a living organism, in whose composition the music brings added value, a sublime emotional hue, empowering itself like a complex vehicle that facilitates the conveying of the play’s message through the sound–word association. As the Greek tragedy, the choir in “Biedermann and the Arsonists” is a collective character and explains the public the way the action unfolds. All the firefighter’s replies are sung a cappella, in eight interventions on the original music composed by Vasile Șirli. The audio material is subordinated entirely to the word. For this reason, the expressive points of each song identify themselves in relation to the dynamic of the text. A provocative endeavour, the assimilation of the musical material has a winding road and it implies a continuous re-invention and adjustment, according to all of the dramatic elements.
