Description

WERGO is going to release another highlight in the “Carl Orff” DVD edition series: A film version of Orff's first stage work “Gisei - Das Opfer” by the film director Peider A. Defilla.

“Gisei” is set in the year 902 in a village school in Japan and is about the sacrificial death of a child. Both the subject and the Japanese culture greatly inspired the young Carl Orff, and he remained an aficionado of Japan all his life. In the Japanese tragedies, Orff also found numerous references to the ancient Greek tragedies by Sophokles with which he concerned himself decades later.

The DVD shows the world premiere production of John Dew (who was awarded the Carl Orff Prize 2012 only recently) at the Darmstadt State Theatre. Lavish costumes as well as carefully rehearsed facial expressions and gestures convey a deep impression of this tragedy. The following 15-minute bonus film includes interesting additional information on Orff's oeuvre and particularly on his work on “Gisei”.
