Kwakutheni ukuze enze oko? Yiloo nto kanye endiyikhumbulayo ndicinga xa ndiqala ukufunda ibali lika-Orpheus no-Eurydice ndiselula. Ke, kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, xa ndandisikelelekile ukubona IHadestown kwii-previews ze-50 kuphela zeedola nangona ndisazi ukuba ibali liza kuphela njani, bendisazifumana ndilila, Kutheni enze njalo lonto ? kwakugqityiwe konke. Iidilesi zomculo eziwina i-Tony Award, kwindalo iphela, esiqhubeka nokubuyela kumabali njenge Orpheus noEurydice kuba siyathemba ukuba le ixesha liza kwahluka. Kodwa kutheni le ibali elithile?
Kulabo abanokuthi bangaqhelani nentsomi, u-Orpheus no-Eurydice bachaphazela uthando olubi lwe-Orpheus yaseThrace, unyana ka-Apollo kunye nomyuziyam uCalliope (enye yeenqwelwana ezinqabileyo zika-Apollo ezinemvume), kunye no-Eurydice omhle.
U-Orpheus, ebalini, yimvumi kunye nembongi olunge kakhulu kwinto ayenzayo kangangokuba uhambisa izilwanyana ukuba zidanise. Banokude bathi ngelixa uHermes wayeyile uhadi, u-Orpheus wayigqibezela, kwaye uHermes akazange amncinise ngokumbulala, nto leyo ethetha lukhulu ngokujonga ooThixo bamaGrike. Unamanye amabali ngaphambi kokudibana nesithandwa sakhe; wayeyiArgonaut, kodwa yintsomi yolunye usuku.
Kwesinye seziganeko ezaziwayo zentsomi, ithi ngelixa wayehamba engceni ende emtshatweni wakhe, u-Eurydice wahlaselwa ngumzabalazo, owayezama ukumdlwengula. Ukuzama ukubaleka i-satyr, u-Eurydice wawela kwindlwane yeenyoka wabulawa esithendeni. Umzimba wakhe emva koko wafunyanwa ngu-Orpheus, owayedlala ingoma elusizi kwaye elusizi kangangokuba zonke iinyani kunye noothixo balila.
Emva koko baxelela umculi omncinci ukuba ahambe aye kwelabafileyo kwaye azame ukuthethelela ityala lakhe eHadesi, iNkosi ye-Underworld. Usebenzisa umculo wakhe, wazithambisa iintliziyo zeHadesi kunye nePersephone, kwaye bavuma ukuvumela uEurydice ukuba abuye naye emhlabeni kwimeko enye: Kuya kufuneka ahambe phambi kwakhe kwaye angajongi ngasemva de babe bobabini elangeni ihlabathi eliphezulu. Wemka no-Eurydice emlandela, kwathi xa enexhala, wathi akufika kwilizwe eliphezulu, wajika wamjonga, wanyamalala kuye ngonaphakade.
Kutheni ejika nje? Ngumbuzo osoloko undikhathaza kunye nabanye ngonaphakade. Ngabathandi beenkwenkwezi abanamabali amaninzi kunye namabali abuhlungu, kukho imvakalelo yokungenakunceda ukuba ikamva lidlala indima kwintshabalalo engenakuphepheka yesi sibini. Ngelixa abanye beqikelela ukuba iHadesi okanye amandla athile amoyikisayo axhokonxa u-Orpheus ukuba ajike, kwisicatshulwa uqobo, kuvakala ngathi kukuswela ukholo-ukuswela ukholo ukuba umntu omthandayo ukho kunye nawe. Ndiqinisekile ukuba kuninzi kakhulu lokuchithwa kwembali yentsomi, kwaye ndiqinisekile ukuba ndiyifundile inqwaba yazo, kodwa kum, kukungathembani — ukungakwazi ukuthembela kubukho bomntu onaye ngaphandle kokuba uyababona — oko kunamathele kum.
Njengomntu onexhala kunye nemiba yokulahla, olo loyiko yinto oyibonayo kubudlelwane ngalo lonke ixesha-uloyiko lokuba ukuba awubambeleli kwinto ebonakalayo, ukuba ukuba awububoni ubungqina okanye ubungqina bothando, akunjalo ' t yinyani. Uloyiko lokuqhawulwa ngaphandle kokukwazi, kwaye emva koko uqaphela ekugqibeleni ukuba awungekhe umthande ngaphandle kokuba ube nokholo kwiqabane lakho-ukholo kwinto onamandla kuyo ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na into.
… Okanye ixhala lokufa, kananjalo, kodwa njenge… pfft, imalunga nothando angst. Amaxesha amaninzi abantu baya engcwabeni, kungenxa yothando-ukugcina uthando olulahlekileyo okanye ukubamba intombi. Konke malunga nokufumana into, ukufumana into kwakhona. Ke, xa usiya kwi-Underworld, cela umngeni koothixo, kwaye uphumelele, kodwa uthando lwakho alunamandla ngokwaneleyo ukuba lude lufike esiphelweni, oko kuthetha ntoni?
Ke, sibukela ibali kaninzi-kaninzi, ngethemba lokuba ngeli xesha, u-Orpheus ngandlel 'ithile unokuva ubukho bothando lwakhe-ukuziva iqhina abalwenzileyo kunye, endaweni yokuliqhawula ngengozi.
Ngawaphi amabali abuhlungu owathandayo ukuwajonga kwakhona, ngasese unqwenela ukuba isiphelo sahluke?
