Product Details
Description
The director and film maker Peider A. Defilla devotes himself to Carl Orff again: WERGO is now going to release his film “Oedipus der Tyrann” based on a production of the Darmstadt State Theatre. This DVD edition “Carl Orff” presents a new view of the significant 20th-century composer Carl Orff (1895–1982). - According to the Delphic Oracle, Oedipus, ruler of Thebes, can only save his city from doom if he solves the murder of his predecessor Laius. In the course of the investigation, Oedipus himself is accused of regicide and realises that several years earlier, he unwittingly killed Laius, his own father, and married Jocasta, his mother. Thereupon, Oedipus blinds himself.
