U-Eva Noblezada, u-Andre De Shields kunye no-Reeve Carney kwi IHadestown .UMateyu Murphy Ngubani ongayithandiyo i-albhamu yengcamango? Yilapho i-rock hipsters kunye ne-drama geek zifumana indawo efanayo. Ukusuka kwiiklasi zakudala zesikolo ( I-Quadrophenia, iZiggy Stardust, udonga ) kwezo zeediliya zakutshanje, ezinje ngoJanelle Monáe IArchAndroid okanye uBeyoncé Ilemonade , Uhlobo olo kukudityaniswa okukodwa okupop kunye nokubalisa, okudla ukwamkela intsomi, intelekelelo yebaroque okanye iingxelo zentlalo eziyintloko. Ukusukela ukurekhodwa kwe-Broadway kwaba (amashumi eminyaka) ii-albhamu zentsusa, bekungenakuphepheka ukuba abavelisi bazakuzama ukubuyisela umva kumdlalo weqonga kumdlalo weqonga— UTommy , Idiot yaseMelika, Ungasathethi ke ngoovulindlela bakaAndrew Lloyd Webber UYesu Krestu Superstar kwaye Kuphephe , eyavela kwi-vinyl. Kwaye nangona umnqweno wokwenza umdlalo unengqiqo, kukho ingozi ekuhambiseni ubuqaqawuli obungenamzimba bealbham enkulu ngokusebenzisa abadlali eqongeni. IHadestown umzekelo uyolo kunye nemingxunya.
Umculi-umbhali wengoma u-Anaïs Mitchell owabhiyozelwa ngo-2010 wacinga intsomi ka-Orpheus no-Eurydice njengentsomi yabasebenzi beblues, ragtime, ne-New Orleans jazz. Ibali lesiGrike lesiphiwo esingumlobi-mvumi onesiphiwo esivela kuThixo owathi umfazi wakhe walunywa yinyoka wasweleka ngomhla wabo womtshato-esenza ukuba uhambo lwakhe oluya esihogweni ukuze ambuyise-lelinye lamabali othando aseNtshona Civ. Ke ilizwi eliphantsi lilizwi lika-Orpheus, uyathandeka iinymphs, imithi, oothixo-ekugqibeleni nokuba yiHadesi, nkosi ye-Underworld. IHayidesi ivumela u-Orpheus ukuba akhokele isithandwa sakhe esibhakabhakeni, ngokude angamjongi kwakhona. Ukuthembana nokungathandabuzeki kulwa nesifuba seqhawe lethu, kwaye ophumeleleyo uya kuthetha umahluko phakathi kovuyo nentlekele. Iibhaladi zikaMitchell's Brechtian-Americana (ezinamazwi endwendwe nguJustin Vernon, uGreg Brown kunye no-Ani DiFranco) abenzele i-whisky-soaked, foot-stomping opera yabantu onokuyibona phakathi kweendlebe.
Bhalisela iNcwadana yeendaba yoBugcisa
Kuluhambo oluya kubomi obuthathu apho inkathazo iqala khona. UMlawuli uRachel Chavkin wayibeka le nguqulo kwi-Off Broadway eNew York Theatre Workshop ngo-2016, apho yaba yinto yehlelo. Imveliso yangoku, ye-glitzier yema kwiNational Theatre yaseLondon kuvavanyo oluhloniphekileyo kwaye ngoku ifika ku-Broadway ngexesha eligcwele intente enkulu, umculo ophakamileyo ( Ukukhuthaza, iTootsie, iBeetlejuice ). Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, IHadestown inomntu omncinci, ozalwa ngobugcisa kunye noyilo olubalaseleyo (njengakwimveliso yeCofkin's boffo UNatasha, uPierre kunye noQeqesho olukhulu luka-1812 ). Iseti yomoya kaRachel Hauck idibanisa ubumnyama kumzi mveliso kunye nobuhle besitayile saseNew Orleans, inqanaba elijikelezayo elicocekileyo kunye nomgibe we-hydraulic ohambisa imiphefumlo egwetyiweyo kwindawo yabafileyo. Iiflappers-and-trampers zikaMichael Krass kunye neBradley King's rock-sepulcher ukukhanyisa konke kubolekisa isiqwenga se-sepia-esimanzi retro.
Kwaye i-cast ityebile ngamathathu akuyo. Impungutye yesilivere u-André De Shields uboleka umakhulu-khulu wakhe kwingxelo-enzima yeHermes. U-Eva Noblezada onezwi elikhulu uthotywa njengomntu ongu-Eurydice. Ukulungela uthixo welabafileyo, I-basso profundo kaPatrick Page ibonakala ngathi ikhupha kwigumbi elingaphantsi. Kwaye, njengePersephone, u-Amber Grey ucofa idemon-may-care jazz diva yesiqhelo ukuya kwi-11, eqinisekisa ukwenziwa kumila kumbi njengo-Eartha Kitt kwi-Broadway ngenye imini. Isiqhamo esincinci nguReve Carney's Orpheus, okhulelwe njengesiqhelo sobugcisa kwezentlalo. Ukubeka kwi- Othandekayo uEvan Hansen Ityebile kakhulu, i-Carney's neurodiverse Orpheus (izithuba ezininzi, iingalo zixhonyekile, iminwe ijijekile) ngumlilo ongafanelekanga. Umntu osindileyo Indoda yesigcawu: Cima uMnyama ihlala i-generic, ngaphandle kokubukeka okumnandi kunye ne-pop falsetto entle. IHadestown ufuna inaliti eyomeleleyo yokuthandana ngesondo.
Kodwa loo nto yinto encinci yokuthelekiswa xa kuthelekiswa nobunzima beChavkin & Co ubuso: ukungcangcazela komthombo, kunye nokusikelwa umda kweengoma zepop kwimeko yemidlalo yeqonga. I-albhamu yoqobo yimizuzu engama-57 kwiitraki ezingama-20. Ukuba kuphela uMitchell (incwadi, umculo kunye namazwi) wayethembele umbhali wemidlalo onetalente ukongeza, yithi, imizuzu engama-30 yencoko yokwakha isimilo kunye nenyama kule Dystopia yexesha loxinzelelo-zonke izinto zamandongomane kunye neebholithi eziguqula indawo entle umdlalo okholisayo. Imbewu ikhona. UMitchell ngobuqili wamilisela intsomi yongxowa-nkulu kule ntsomi. IHayidesi imodareyithwa emva kohlobo lwomphathi womzi-mveliso, kwaye abo bagwetyiweyo ngabasebenzi abadakumbileyo. U-Eurydice wehla esihogweni hayi ngenxa yokulunywa yinyoka; ulambile kwaye ufuna umsebenzi-kwaye u-Orpheus uxakeke kakhulu ukubhala umbongo wakhe. Kukho umthambo wezopolitiko onobutyebi apha. Isenzo sokuqala sisondelelene, Kutheni Sakha udonga lwangaphambi kweTrump, kodwa lubuhlungu, imigca yokulwa malunga nokugcina amahlwempu ephethe i-punchy echo yeBrecht-Weill.
Wonke lo mhlaba utyebileyo ucela indawo eneenkcukacha. Endaweni yoko, phakathi kweengoma ezongeziweyo, ukulandelelana komdaniso, ukuphindaphinda, kunye nokugxininisa, IHadestown isebenza ngaphezulu kweeyure ezimbini. Kwaye iyatsala. Ukuzicula ngokungenalusini iingoma bekuya kuzenza nzulu iimvakalelo. Endaweni yokuba, ngo-Orpheus no-Eurydice baphume esihogweni, ufuna ukubakhawulezisa, ukuze sifikelele kwisigqibo esandulelayo. Unokuyonwabela ingoma emnandi okanye ingoma emnandi, kodwa ngokwamanqanaba, amanqaku bubunzima beebhaladi kunye nemiculo. Emva kwethutyana, ubume bendawo yobuso bukhula bungathandeki. Isakhiwo sijikeleza nje; asisondelanga kubalinganiswa; IHermes igcina ukubalisa. Izinto ezisetyenziswayo zihlala zisilela kumboniso, musa ukuxela umthetho wamabali amnandi.
Ngaba naziphi na ezi ziphene ziya kuba nempumelelo kumdlalo? Into enomdla kukuba, kubonakala ngathi ukusilela okubalaseleyo kunye ne-earsore yomphunga Banda ngakumbi Zombini ziza nee-fanbase ezakhelweyo. Ukuya kwam, abantu babekhwaza kwaye bevuya phantse kuwo onke amanani. Mhlawumbi kunjalo IHadestown ’S 2017 Off Broadway cast album album went viral, njenge Banda ngakumbi ’S. Okanye u-Anaïs Mitchell ababesoloko bemthanda babepakishe indlu. Iindimbane zabantu ziyiphatha ngokungathi ibethiwe. Baninzi abantu abanetalente abasebenza kuyo, kwaye kukho iingoma ezilishumi elinambini ezithandekayo, kodwa ndinqwenela ukuba bekwiphakheji engcono. IHadestown ineetoni zeenjongo ezintle-ezibeka indlela yokwazi ukuba kuphi.
Uhlaziyo: Inguqulelo yangaphambili yeli bali yaphosisa igama lika-Amber Grey. Isiqwenga sihlaziyiwe ukubonisa olu tshintsho. Ukongeza, umgxeki uDavid Cote ubuyisa ukusebenzisa kwakhe igama elithi hoochie-mama. Ukusukela amanqaku kunye nokubonwayo kwe- IHadestown ireferensi i-New Orleans jazz kunye neblues, wayecinga ukuba islang term iya kuhambelana nomoya womboniso kunye nokugxekwa kwakhe. Nangona kunjalo, intsingiselo yesondo yekota ayisebenzi kumlinganiswa wePerphone, edlalwa nguAmber Grey.
