Cyrano and Christian + physical touch "Is there a version of life where two men can live as one person?" National Theatre Live: Cyrano de Bergerac (2020)

[gringolet]

rating whether polyamory would solve famous love triangle plots

Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot (Arthuriana): no because Mordred and Agravaine would not be let in on the mutual consent and would still try to catch Guinevere cheating

Tristan/Iseult/Mark (Tristania): absolutely not because Mark is Tristan’s uncle

Tristan/Iseult/Palomides (Tristania): absolutely yes because between Palomides and Iseult all of Tristan’s most unhelpful impulses would be balanced out

Peeta/Katniss/Gale (Hunger Games): polyamory alone cannot defeat an authoritarian dystopia

Cyrano/Roxanne/Christian (Cyrano de Bergerac): solves every problem in the first 3 acts, solves no problems in the 4th

Wesley/Buttercup/Humperdink (The Princess Bride): while Wesley would be happy living as buttercups side piece, the problem is no amount of mutual consent will fulfill prince humperdinks emotional need to be at war. so no

Orsino/Viola/Olivia (Twelfth Night): most of it yes as long as Sebastian fucks that pirate

Heathcliff/Catherine/Edgar (Wuthering Heights): Technically yes but they all have so many emotional issues that new problems would immediately arise and Catherine would still die of being stressed out by the whole thing

Mark Antony/Cleopatra/Caesar (Antony and Cleopatra): well vibes-wise they were probably all fucking in real life and clearly polyamory alone did not save the Roman Republic

Menelaos/Helen/Paris (The Iliad etc): polyamory alone CAN stop the Trojan war as long as the Greeks know Menelaos tops

Florence/The Russian/Svetlana (Chess): polyamory alone cannot stop the Cold War

The Dutchman/Sente/Erik (The Flying Dutchman): solves every interpersonal problem but would actively damn the Dutchman to wander the seas forever

Mathilde/Julien/Mme de Renal (The Red and the Black): a rare case where polyamory would make everything WORSE! Fucking two people at the same time would make poor asexual Julien even more miserable and more people would die. Mme de Renal’s guilt would be even more destructive. Mathilde would suicide bait everyone else involved.

Raoul/Christine/Erik (Phantom of the Opera): probably not but i want to say yes because its such a funny concept

Jacques/Severine/Roubaud (La Bête Humaine): no! Jacques would just sexually commit TWO murders

Not Shipping Tag Game

Because let’s face it, sometimes siblings/BROTPs/QPRs/etc. are just as fascinating, if not more, than whatever is happening in the romance department.

Swashtober 12: Cyrano de Bergerac!

From the play by Edmond Rostand, based on the life of the historically big-nosed 17th century writer and wit who *actually* fought like a hundred fellers on his own at the Porte de Nesle (he also really chased off that actor, and wrote great love letters, many of which were published and subsequently cribbed by Rostand for the play).

If I had gone to the theatre in 1897 and experienced Cyrano de Bergerac for the first time with no warning, I would have been diagnosed with female hysteria on the spot because of the way I was acting

[sezginer35]

Iyi Akşamlar olsun..

Her sene bir defa paylaşmadan yapamıyorum...

"Cyrano de Bergerac", Edmond Rostand tarafından yazılan ünlü bir tiyatro oyunudur. Oyun, 17. yüzyıl Fransa'sında geçer ve baş karakteri, geniş burunlu ve mütevazı bir şair olan Cyrano de Bergerac'dır. Cyrano, kendine güvenen ve esprili biridir, ancak burun boyutu nedeniyle dış görünüşünden dolayı kendisini çirkin olarak algılar.

Hikaye, Cyrano'nun güzel ve zeki bir kadın olan Roxane'e olan aşkını ifade etme çabalarını ve bu süreçte yaşadığı zorlukları anlatır. Roxane, Cyrano'nun duygularından habersizdir ve Cyrano'nun yakın arkadaşı Christian'a aşık olmuştur. Ancak Christian, duygularını ifade etme konusunda beceriksizdir.

Cyrano, Roxane'e olan aşkını dile getirmek için Christian'a yardım eder ve onun yerine aşk mektupları yazar. Ancak, bu durum zamanla karmaşık hale gelir ve trajik sonuçlar doğurur. Oyun, aşk, gurur, onur ve sadakat gibi temaları işlerken, aynı zamanda mizahi ve romantik unsurları da içerir.

Eksik olsun..

Ne yapmak gerek peki?

Sağlam bir arka mı bulmalıyım?

Onu mu bellemeliyim?

Bir ağaç gövdesine dolanan sarmaşık gibi

Önünde eğilerek efendimiz sanmak mı?

Bilek gücü yerine dolanla tırmanmak mı?

İstemem!

Herkesin yaptığı şeyleri mi yapmalıyım Le Bret?

Sonradan görmelere övgüler mi yazmalıyım?

Bir bakanın yüzünü güldürmek için biraz şaklabanlık edip,

Taklalar mı atmalıyım?

İstemem! Eksik olsun!

Her sabah kahvaltıda kurbağa mı yemeli?

Sabah akşam dolaşıp pabuç mu eskitmeli?

Onun bunun önünde hep boyun mu eğmeli?

İstemem! Eksik olsun böyle bir şöhret!

Eksik olsun!

Ciğeri beş para etmezlere mi “yetenekli” demeli?

Eleştiriden mi çekinmeli?

“Adım Mercuré dergisinde geçse” diye mi sayıklamalı?

İstemem!

İstemem! Eksik olsun!

Korkmak, tükenmek, bitmek…

Şiir yazacak yerde eşe dosta gitmek.

Dilekçeler yazarak içini ortaya dökmek?

İstemem! Eksik olsun!

İstemem! Eksik olsun!

Ama şarkı söylemek, düşlemek, gülmek, yürümek…

Tek başına.

Özgür olmak.

Dünyaya kendi gözlerinle bakmak.

Sesini çınlatmak, aklına esince şapkanı yan yatırmak.

Bir hiç uğruna kılıcına ya da kalemine sarılmak.

Ne ün peşinde olmak, para pul düşünmek,

İsteyince Ay’a bile gidebilmek.

Başarıyı alnının teriyle elde edebilmek.

Demek istediğim asalak bir sarmaşık olma sakın.

Varsın boyun olmasın bir söğütünki kadar.

Yaprakların bulutlara erişmezse bir zararın mı var?

Le triangle.

Kickstarter du projet ici !

[cobragardens]

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL Megamind is literally a retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac. It is so obvious. I am so stupid. I can't believe I didn't notice this until now. I even thought about a week ago that it was a cute touch they had named the female lead Roxanne! 😫

But yeah so there's this guy who's crazy smart and bold and stylish and good at flair and Presentation! but he lacks the confidence to court the girl of his dreams, whose name is Roxan(n)e, because she's made it known that she's with his rival. Also he has a disproportionately large facial feature!

Instead of fessing up he disguises his appearance so he can woo Roxan(n)e with his voice and words and intellect, pretending to be a new suitor. He doesn't confess his deception until Roxan(n)e figures it out herself and confronts him, and he dies at the end of the story in one final, tragic display of daring and panache.

And then someone looked at that and asked the obvious question "Yes but what if he was also an alien mad scientist supervillain with a minion who's a fish in a mechanical gorilla suit?"

[iseveryoneherederanged]

Currently making my way through James McAvoy's filmography and oh my god his performance as Cyrano de Bergerac has such a hold on me Jesus fucking Christ I physically could not look away and I did not blink for his entire love confession monologue dear lord how can someone be so talented ffs

Plays

Round 1

A Doll's House :

Cyrano de Bergerac :

Oh my how do I explain ? I guess I could say this play has panache

Well you have an English translation here to start with - as far as I've seen it's okay-

It's a -by the looks of it, heavily- fictionalised version of the life of the real Cyrano

Cyrano's a great duelist and a good poet but he's very self-conscious about his nose (even if ladies reportedly don't mind).

For starters, Cyrano isn't older than Roxane and Christian – he's supposed to be about 21 at the start of the play and not middle aged as in many adaptations. He's in love with his cousin Roxane, who's in love with Christian, another man in Cyrano's company. Roxane is an intellectual and Christian isn't good with words, so he seduces her with the help of Cyrano, who writes his letters to Roxane – and prompts Christian discreetly when he talks to her

[ninadove]

Not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (you’ve been trying to save him from himself throughout the entire play, but he’s tragically good at everything he does, and that includes being doomed by the narrative)

[behindthemirrorofmusic]

It always surprises me that there are no first in which Erik berates Cyrano de Bergerac for "whining about his nose. Atleast he HAS a nose!!"

[winter-wise]

Wyll Ravengard you would have loved Cyrano de Bergerac
