About This Book

Une pièce conçue pour une scène à deux niveaux mêle dialogues, chants et interventions chorales afin d'opposer les préoccupations du pouvoir aux urgences humaines. La cour, rassemblant souverain, vizir, médecin et poète, débat de la mort, du temps et de la fortune tandis que parviennent nouvelles de guerre et de famine; la tension entre l'apparat rituel et la détresse populaire est explorée par des réflexions sur l'espérance et la renonciation. La structure combine scènes dramatiques, monologues lyriques et passages musicaux pour interroger la fragilité de la vie et le rythme cyclique du renouveau saisonnier.

About the Author

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, playwright, and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in Indian literature. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, recognized for his profound and lyrical poetry, particularly in his acclaimed work "Gitanjali." Tagore's literary contributions span various genres, including poetry, short stories, and essays, reflecting his deep engagement with themes of spirituality, nationalism, and humanism. His plays, such as "Chitra," showcase his innovative approach to drama, while his essays, like "Nationalism," explore the complexities of identity and culture. Tagore's legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers around the world.
