Beskrivelse af AMPHITRYON 38
The play "Amphitryon 38" is a modern adaptation of the ancient Greek myth of Amphitryon, a Theban general, and his wife Alcmena. In Giraudoux's version, the story is set in the 20th century, specifically in the interwar period between World War I and World War II.
The plot revolves around the character Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology, who becomes enamored with Alcmena, the wife of Amphitryon. To approach her, Jupiter uses his powers to assume the physical appearance of Amphitryon himself. As a result, there are two identical Amphitryons: the real one and Jupiter in disguise.
The play explores the comedic and absurd situations that arise from the presence of the two identical Amphitryons, leading to confusion and humorous misunderstandings. The characters in the play, including Amphitryon, Alcmena, and the servant Sosia, grapple with the bizarre situation while Jupiter revels in his mischievous game.
Giraudoux's "Amphitryon 38" is renowned for its clever wordplay, satirical humor, and commentary on the nature of reality, identity, and the irrationality of love. It is a modern reinterpretation of the ancient myth that brings a fresh and comedic perspective to the timeless themes of love and deception.
Overall, "Amphitryon 38" is a classic of French theater that showcases Jean Giraudoux's talent for blending classical themes with contemporary wit and humor.
