Apollo, Apollo!: An Ambiguous Call for Sophistication in Antwerp, 1561
This article explores the seemingly mixed messages in the Antwerp playwright Willem van Haecht’s Oordeel van Tmolus (Tmolus’ Verdict), based on Ovid’s tale of the metamorphosis of King Midas’ ears. Performed on the first evening of the 1561 Rederijkers’ theater competition in Antwerp, its first act reflects a call for ‘apollonian’ aesthetics and a rejection of the genre of farce. The second act, however, seems to undermine this artistic stance. As this article clarifies, Van Haecht’s dramatization of the aftermath of the metamorphosis, in which a barber discovers Midas’ ears, testifies to the playwright’s skillful mastery of ‘dionysian’ farce techniques.
期刊介绍:
European Medieval Drama (EMD) is an annual journal published by Brepols. It was launched in 1997 in association with the International Conferences on Medieval European Drama organised at the University of Camerino, Italy, by Sydney Higgins between 1996 and 1999. The first four volumes of European Medieval Drama (1997-2000) published the Acts of these conferences. This series of conferences was suspended for the foreseeable future in 1999. At the Tenth Triennial Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l"étude du Théâtre Médiéval (SITM), held in Groningen, the Netherlands, in August 2001, it was proposed that EMD should be published in association with SITM. This proposal has now been approved by all interested parties, and comes into effect as of spring 2002.
