Abstract

FERNANDEZ DEAGUSTINI, María del Pilar. Una aproximación a la sintaxis espacial de Suplicantes de Esquilo. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2016, vol.23. ISSN 0328-1205.

The particular link that the leading chorus and the rest of the characters maintain with the theatrical space reveals the remarkable coherence between text and spectacle in the composition of theSuppliants of Aeschylus. On the one hand, the fact that actors and chorus share a single area in this drama, the orchestra, forces us to revise the organization of a space regularly dedicated to the chorus. On the other hand, the uninterrupted presence of the collective protagonist on the scene and the dynamics of arrivals and returns of the supporting characters encourage us to analize the somatic dimension of “spatial syntax”, according to Ruth Padel’s expression, considering the places that each character occupies during each conjuncture of the play. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the dramatist altered and maximized the alternatives of use of the theatrical space in order to construct a dramatic space consistent with the redesign of the role of its available resources.

Keywords : Aeschylus; Suppliants; Space.
