Synopsis "1984 (TeaTre) (in Catalan)"

De versions teatrals de 1984 de George Orwell, n’hi ha un grapat. De fetes pel dramaturg, actor i activista social de San Francisco Michael Gene Sullivan, només n’hi ha una. I és la que, en una posada en escena del conegut actor i director Tim Robbins, va triomfar a Barcelona no fa gaires anys. Va fer-ho en versió original anglesa. El repte de traspassar al català la força i la ràbia d’Orwell tan ben destil•lades per l’eficàcia escènica letal i corprenedora de Michael Gene Sullivan no es podia desaprofitar. Aquí en teniu el resultat.

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, British Raj, June 25, 1903-London, United Kingdom, January 21, 1950), known by his pen name George Orwell, was a British novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic born in India, author among other works of the dystopian novels Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949)

His work bears the mark of autobiographical experiences lived by the author in three stages of his life: his position against British imperialism which led him to commit as a representative of the colonial law enforcement forces in Burma during his youth; in favor of democratic socialism, after having observed and suffered the living conditions of the working social classes in London and Paris; and against Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianisms after his participation in the Spanish Civil War, on the Republican side

In addition to being a chronicler, literary critic, and novelist, he is one of the most prominent essayists in the English language of the 1930s and 1940s. He is also known for his criticisms of totalitarianism in his allegorical short novel Animal Farm (1945) and his dystopian novel 1984 (1949), written in his last years of life and published shortly before his death, in which he creates the concept of "Big Brother," which has since entered the common language of criticism of modern surveillance techniques.
