Teatro II
Come per la narrativa, anche per il teatro Thomas Bernhard resta fedele a un'idea dell'arte come luogo dell'autenticità. Nonostante tutto. Nonostante cioè la perversità e la falsità di cui è capace il linguaggio. Ma al linguaggio Bernhard non dà tregua. Non lo distrugge né lo guarda troppo da vicino, ma lo complica e lo ribalta, lo prova e lo riprova come se nelle pieghe più segrete, negli intrichi semantici e sintattici spinti fino al grottesco, potesse aprirsi uno spiraglio che faccia intravvedere un po' più in là nell'orizzonte di tenebra che comunque circonda ed esalta la vita.

About the author
Thomas Bernhard
289 books2,462 followersThomas Bernhard was an Austrian writer who ranks among the most distinguished German-speaking writers of the second half of the 20th century.
Although internationally he’s most acclaimed because of his novels, he was also a prolific playwright. His characters are often at work on a lifetime and never-ending major project while they deal with themes such as suicide, madness and obsession, and, as Bernhard did, a love-hate relationship with Austria. His prose is tumultuous but sober at the same time, philosophic by turns, with a musical cadence and plenty of black humor.
He started publishing in the year 1963 with the novel Frost. His last published work, appearing in the year 1986, was Extinction. Some of his best-known works include The Loser (about a student’s fictionalized relationship with the pianist Glenn Gould), Wittgenstein’s Nephew, and Woodcutters.

Non amo il teatro, ma c'è la solidità di Bernhard.

"tutti partono sapendo
che falliranno
se valgono qualcosa
Solo gli ottusi i mediocri
non arrivano nemmeno a questo pensiero
Il pensiero di fallire
è un pensiero essenziale"
(Alla meta, p. 192)
