Prometheus ontboeid: Een lyrisch drama in vier bedrijven

In this lyrical drama, the ancient titan Prometheus is portrayed as a fierce champion of humanity, daring to steal fire from the heavens despite Zeus’s wrath. The first act unfolds with his daring rebellion, the chains that bind him on the Caucasus, and the quiet resolve that fuels his love for mortals. Shelley's vivid imagination blends with Aeschylus’s tragic depth, setting a stage where divine power clashes with tender compassion, and the audience is drawn into the mythic struggle between oppression and hope.

The language flows like a torrent of verse, alternating between soaring chants and intimate whispers, inviting listeners to feel the rhythm of a heartbeat that refuses to be silenced. The translation captures the fierce energy of the original while preserving the delicate beauty of Shelley’s poetry, making the ancient story resonate in a fresh, intimate tone. It is a compelling invitation to experience a timeless tale of sacrifice, resilience, and the yearning for a freer world.
