Manganelli’s hilarious-tragic theatre (between Beckett and Bacon)
Abstract
The Italian reception of Samuel Beckett’s works, even though late, finds in Giorgio Manganelli one of the most careful and punctual interpreters. An aspect that is necessary to analyze concerns the hilarious-tragic character according to Manganelli’s interpretation, or rather the operation of emptying the tragic myth in a parodic way. The Manganelli’s “tragedie da leggere” have in common with Beckett’s plays and with Bacon’s paintings the same desecrating purpose towards the tragic myth, which they oppose a sarcastic and melancholic hilarity.
