| Za'rab: Because the world is very hard, Mervet.
Life is very insufferable. Making a living is very tiresome, very
tiresome... Mervet: Because we're taking it too seriously. eventhough you're the one who shouldn't take it seriously. You're the clown who's against seriousness, whose job is to turn seriousness into silly tomfoolery and a laughingstock. Za'rab: That's just the calamity! Alas for the time that comes on people that makes the clown turn joking into seriousness, it's a sign of the end. ... Za'ab: The art of clowns is a very great art, greater than acting a thousand times over. because it is the art of acting in the lion's mouth... Other cultural and literary critics have pointed to Idris's plays as important articulations of contemporary crises on many levels of public discourses. Idriss himself knew well the personnal and public costs of being a cultural player, and articulated these crises through rich and intricate structures of his characters and plays. Much like Farfur and Za'rab, Idriss's stature in dramatic discours derives from his weeping the profound and hilarious tears of a clown. from "Colors of enchantement" book on theater of Middle East by Sherifa Zuhur, article on Yusuf Idris s' work Teak-in kirjastossa |
