The Waltz of Orpheus, a theatrical song by Stratis Paschalis, which, set to music by Katerina Polemi, has been beloved in recent years, is now becoming a book published by Kappa Publishing.
Stratis Paschalis, under this general title, gathers the most significant songs, poems, and lyrics he has written for the stage, from the beginning of his career to the present. Those that have been heard, set to music or framed by the compositions of eminent and important composers, in well-known and less-known theater and dance theater performances, as well as others that, while written for theatrical use, remained unused.
Alongside these, there are also verses or poetic texts that were born in reference to the theater itself, as an art and as a sensation, unpublished until now. The musical theme of the barren struggle of love, the ode of Marina from “The Great Chimera," the monologue of Stratis Stratokopoulos from a fairy tale by Grimm, the Venetian serenade of Asenbach, a lament for the one and only girl of Yougerman, portraits of stage heroes, Phaedra and Orestes in contemporary confessions, and more.
A poetic book born from music and orality, rhythm and dramatic speech, the two sources from which poetry always springs, speaking directly to its recipient, without pretentious mediations.
