Winter

by Jon Fosse

Σκοτάδι. Ανάβουν τα φώτα. Ένα παγκάκι πάρκου. Έρχεται ένας άντρας, μπαίνει από δεξιά, φοράει ένα μαύρο παλτό, κάθεται στο παγκάκι, στην αριστερή άκρη. Αμέσως μετά μπαίνει μια γυναίκα, είναι ντυμένη ελαφριά, χωρίς πανωφόρι, και κάθεται κι αυτή στο παγκάκι, αλλά στην άκρη της άλλης πλευράς. Ο άντρας σηκώνεται σχεδόν αμέσως και πάει προς τ'αριστερά.

Η ΓΥΝΑΙΚΑ:
στον άντρα που πάει μπροστά
Ε, εσύ
Εσύ ναι
Εσύ
Ο άντρας συνεχίζει να περπατά
Ε, εσύ
Εσύ εκεί
Εσύ
Ο άντρας σταματάει, στρέφει προς τη γυναίκα
Ναι εσύ
Τι διάολο νομίζεις πως είσαι
και φεύγεις έτσι
ναι
ναι σου μιλάω
δεν καταλαβαίνεις
σου μιλάω
σου μιλάω εγώ [...].

Edição portuguesa: Inverno, Livrinhos de Teatro, Cotovia

Aprecio o absurdo, mas quando um texto se torna totalmente incompreensível, passa a ser uma simples algaraviada. Uma mulher mete conversa com um homem de negócios num parque, como se o conhecesse, e estabelece-se um enigmático diálogo constituído basicamente por monossílabos e dissílabos, interrupções e pausas, que poderiam até apontar para Harold Pinter, se isso trouxesse alguma tensão ou conflito. Talvez em palco resulte melhor, mas no papel é incongruente.

A MULHER
Continua a frase
E foi culpa minha
Claro
Pois claro

O HOMEM
Não é nada de importante
só que
Interrompe-se

A MULHER
Não
Pausa

O HOMEM
Agora tens frio

A MULHER
Não

O HOMEM
Estás melhor

A MULHER
Sim
Não estiveste para te maçar

O HOMEM
A reunião
Não
Não valia nada

A MULHER
Não

Min første Fosse, og potensielt min siste

Leste hele på en benk under en time, på Blindern med sola i trynet. Godt første inntrykk av Fosse

[Didrik Nordtveit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ein intimitet, og ein avstand, som oppstår mellom to menneskjer i ein relasjon som veldig treffande skildre den ubeskrivelige kjærligheten, og kanskje like mye begjæret.

Grafisk, banning, og bare de aller snobbete ser/leser dette stykke uten å le litt i noen sekvenser.

Tragikomisk som kun Fosse klare!

[Simon Moritz · Rating 1 out of 5]

Jeg bryr meg helt ærlig ikke om den bakomliggende betydningen av verket.. Når man trenger såpass mye synsing for å få med seg betydningen og budskapet, så blir det bare tull. Det handler på det meste om en kar som er utro mot sin kone og barn. Jeg tør ikke å tenke meg hvor pompøse og snobbete folkene som sitter og leser i den nobelkomiteen må være...

[Themis Drakontis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Σαρκαστικό και επίκαιρο!
Ο Jon Fosse σε μία απλή ιστορία περικλείει την ανάγκη δύο ανθρώπων να ξεφύγουν από την τετριμμένη πραγματικότητα της σύγχρονης εποχής.
