Abstract

Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound has been frequently staged in Hungarian-language theatres since 2014. My research explores how the tragedy can be adapted to our contemporary world. For my analysis, I will focus on the two institutional theatre adaptations of the last decade (Jakab Tarnóczi [d.], Leláncolt Prométheusz, Katona József Theatre, 2018; Gábor Tompa [d. ], Prometheus’22, Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj, 2022). My central argument is that Tarnóczi’s Prometheus expresses only a possible, not an obligatory attitude to power in a meticulously structured world. I also assume that Tompa’s direction depicts the oppressive power of the ruling class in a globalised context, supported by the media. In my analysis, then, I will take a comprehensive approach to the dynamics between power, resistance, and submission, using Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom as a theoretical framework.
