Sisifo, il re di Efira, era famoso nella mitologia greca per la sua ingegnosità; era infatti così intelligente da ingannare la morte due volte, facendo arrabbiare gli dèi. Questi si vendicarono condannando Sisifo a un tormento eterno negli inferi: doveva far rotolare un enorme masso fino alla cima di una collina. Quando arrivava in cima, il masso rotolava di nuovo verso il basso e lui doveva ricominciare tutto da capo, all’infinito.

Al giorno d’oggi, qualsiasi compito che combini tedio, lotta, stress e inutilità può essere definito un “supplizio di Sisifo”. Pensate ai cosiddetti duct-taper, cioè quelli che lavorano per un servizio clienti e che hanno il compito di trattare con persone arrabbiate tutto il giorno, mentre intanto le condizioni che creano questa aggressività dei clienti non cambiano mai.  [...] Si potrebbe anche affermare che tutta la vita è un supplizio di Sisifo: mangiamo per avere di nuovo fame e facciamo la doccia per sporcarci di nuovo, giorno dopo giorno, fino alla fine.  

Assurdo, non è vero? Albert Camus, filosofo e padre di un’intera scuola di pensiero chiamata assurdismo, la pensava così. Nel suo libro del 1942, Il mito di Sisifo, Camus individua in Sisifo l’icona dell’assurdo, notando che “il suo disprezzo per gli dèi, il suo odio per la morte e la sua passione per la vita gli valsero quella pena indicibile in cui tutto l’essere è proteso verso il non realizzare nulla”. Se questo non vi fa venire voglia di accendervi una sigaretta senza filtro, non so cosa possa farlo. 

Sarebbe facile concludere che una visione assurdista della vita escluda la felicità e porti chiunque abbia un po’ di buon senso a disperare per la propria esistenza. Eppure, nel suo libro, Camus conclude che “bisogna immaginare Sisifo felice”. Può sembrare impossibile, ma in realtà questa svolta inaspettata nella filosofia della vita e della felicità di Camus può aiutarvi a cambiare prospettiva e a vedere le vostre lotte quotidiane in modo nuovo e più equanime.  

La sofferenza infinita e l’infelicità sono intese come temi dominanti della vita nelle filosofie d’oriente e d’occidente. La prima nobile verità del buddismo è che la vita è sofferenza. Allo stesso modo, il filosofo cristiano del diciassettesimo secolo, Blaise Pascal, scrisse della nostra “costante infelicità” e dei futili sforzi per combatterla: “Gli esseri umani cercano il riposo lottando contro le difficoltà; e quando le hanno vinte, il riposo diventa insopportabile”. In entrambe le tradizioni, la felicità non è che una breve interruzione del triste ritmo della vita.

Daphne Anderson, Laurence Olivier, and Dorothy Tutin in The Beggar's Opera (Peter Brook, 1953)

Cast: Laurence Olivier, Hugh Griffith, George Rose, Dorothy Tutin, George Devine, Mary Clare, Athene Seyler, Stanley Holloway, Daphne Anderson. Screenplay: Denis Cannan, Christopher Fry, based on a libretto by John Gay. Cinematography: Guy Green. Production design: Georges Wakhévitch. Film editing: Reginald Beck. Music: Arthur Bliss.  The Beggar's Opera, John Gay's 1728 ballad opera, is said to have been inspired by a suggestion of Jonathan Swift that someone should compose "a Newgate pastoral among the thieves and whores" in the old London prison. When I watched Peter Brook's film, his first as a movie director, the closed caption insisted on rendering “Newgate” as “nougat.” The movie isn't exactly a "nougat pastoral," but it's a pleasant enough confection, with Technicolor cinematography by Guy Green and production design and handsome costuming by Georges Wakhévitch that evoke William Hogarth's paintings of the actors in the original production. Best of all, the film has Laurence Olivier, Hugh Griffith, Dorothy Tutin, Stanley Holloway, and Athene Seyler in the cast. Gay's songs, originally set to familiar folk song tunes, have been remusicalized by Arthur Bliss, with some additional lyrics by Christopher Fry, who also wrote the screenplay with Denis Cannan. Most of the singing was dubbed, with the exceptions of Olivier and Holloway: The latter nicely displays a basso buffo style and Olivier has a pleasant if sometimes slightly stressed baritone. The film was a flop, unfortunately, and isn't much seen today, but it's worth checking out when it comes around.
