Synopsis "El rei Lear (in Catalan)"

Un rei decideix repartir el regne entre les seves tres filles, proporcionalment a l?amor que cadascuna declari professar-li. Així és com s?inicia El rei Lear, però el geni colossal de Shakespeare va molt més enllà d?aquest esquema de conte tradicional i ofereix una reflexió profunda sobre la condició humana, la crònica d?un viatge de l?home per les turbulències que els seus propis errors desencadenen i una incursió als territoris de la ceguesa i de la bogeria com a peatges per accedir a la lucidesa. De totes les tragèdies shakespearianes, potser cap altra no presenta uns components d?absurd i crueltat tan clarament precursors de l?avantguarda teatral dels últims cent anys, ni una vigència tan rotunda a l?hora d?exposar sense concessions les facetes més sòrdides del mal. Aquesta versió catalana de Joan Sellent va ser elaborada per a una posada en escena, i és per això que en tot moment busca l?equilibri entre la funcionalitat dramatúrgica i la recreació del pols retòric i els ritmes poètics de l?original.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
