Oedipus at Colonus: The chronicle of the wreck of a collaboration
Abstract
Iannis Xenakis is called in the early 1975 to compose the music for the staging of
Oedipus at Colonus of Sophocles at the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, directed by
Alexis Minotis. Unfortunately, the much-awaited collaboration was going to fall
through a few months later, and the wreck keeps the press busy quite a bit. The article,
through delving into the composer's archives while utilizing testimonies and other
sources, attempts to record the chronicle of this wreck, seeking the reasons that finally
rendered this collaboration impossible, and at the same time scrutinizing Xenakis's
vision with regard to the staging of ancient Greek tragedy
