The program involves the detailed study and a more critical review of the knowledge of the elements of ancient theatre already reached in the Laurea triennale. The reading and discussion in the class of an ancient theatrical text, in the specific case of Aristophanes’Frogs, in its original language and in critical edition, are the occasion for a historical, cultural-historical and specifically dramaturgical analysis of an ancient text, illustrated by a scientific exegetical commentary. The presence of the two poet-characters Euripides and Aeschylus will give the occasion to focus on poetry and music of the end of 5th century BC, its critical parts and esthetic-musical revolutions.
