    Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2115min
    In this brilliantly original book, Camille Paglia identifies some of the major patterns that have endured in western culture from ancient Egypt and Greece to the present. According to Paglia, one source of continuity is paganism, which, undefeated by Judeo-Christianity, continues to flourish in art, eroticism, astrology, and pop culture. Others, she says, are androgyny, sadism, and the aggressive western eye, which has created our art and cinema. Paglia follows these and other themes, from Nefertiti and the Venus of Willendorf to Apollo and Dionysus, from Botticelli and Michaelangelo to Shakespeare and Blake and finally to Emily Dickinson, who, along with other major 19th-century authors, becomes a remarkable example of Romanticism turned into Decadence. ungekürzt.

    Bacchae , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    The Bacchae is concerned with two opposite sides of human nature: the rational and civilized side, which is represented by the character of Pentheus, the king of Thebes, and the instinctive side, which is represented by Dionysus. This side is sensual without analysis, it feels a connection between man and beast, and it is a potential source of divinity and spiritual power. In Euripides' plays the gods represent various human qualities, allowing the audience to grapple with considerations of the human condition. The Bacchae seems to be saying that it is perilous to deny or ignore the human desire for Dionysian experience; those who are open to the experience will find spiritual power, and those who suppress or repress the desire in themselves or others will transform it into a destructive force. ungekürzt.

    Dramatic Wizardry: Collected Plays (eBook, ePUB)
    A magical key opens the way to the Rainbow Path, seven interdimensional lands with all sorts of bizarre and wonderful problems. This collection of six plays includes sequels and prequels of chocolate frogs and singing cats, fireflies, shape-shifting dolphins, and a phoenix-ex-machina. Originally written for The Imaginorium School of Theatrical Wizardry, an immersive theatre summer camp, by Headmistress Iris Imaginoria, these six plays are sure to take you on a journey there and back again. The plays were originally written and performed with students ages 8-15 but can be equally enjoyed by adults. With LGBTQA+ and neurodivergent themes, along with mythology from several cultures, these plays show that all are welcome on the Rainbow Path. The Plays: 1.Key to the Rainbow Path (2017): First, you will meet Iris Imaginoria, a young seeker of mystery and magic. Key to the Rainbow Path tells her "Coming of Age" story. It also opens the entire world of the Rainbow Path and introduces all interdimensional lands. If less is more, Iris wants more to be more, and that sometimes means that there are three actors playing Iris at the same time. 2.The Light of Joy (2018): The Light of Joy balances the twins Felix and Felicity, complete opposites, as they strive to create a luck charm and bring light back to the Land of Joy. Felix is highly superstitious, while Felicity rarely takes anything seriously, especially her brother. A group of Mythicals, which included an oversized Rabbit, a Dryad, a Naiad, a Leprechaun, a Ladybug, and a Flying Cat, lured them into this quest.Things are never quite what they appear. 3. Phoebe Phoenixfire and the Onethings (2019): For Phoebe, life is a never-ending series of choices, and she hates making choices. It especially frustrates her when her teacher, Ms. Asher, announces that fifth graders get to choose their own elective classes. Phoebe goes on a hunt through different activities she could try but does not feel like any of them fit... and some of them haunt her, turning into little feathered monsters. Will she ever find the "One thing" that makes her unique? Or could that be "something" else entirely? In Phoebe Phoenixfire and the Onethings we learn that if it isn't "One thing," it's often another. 4. The Frogpocalypse and the Chocolate Flies (Winter 2021): You can catch more frogs with flies than with honey. But you can catch more chocolate frogs with chocolate flies. That's what Wendy Windhorse learns in The Frogpocalypse and the Chocolate Flies. This prequel shows the advent of the Frogpocalypse in Cloud Country and the feud between Wendy Windhorse and Jackson Jumpingbean. 5. Captain Bob and the Dolphin Diaspora (Summer 2021): Captain Bob and the Dolphin Diaspora takes place in the prehistory of the Rainbow Path. Dionysus creates a "diaspora" of pirates, defined as the "involuntary dispersion of a group of people." The eight different pirates on the pirate ship Septimus want drastically different things. This story is based on an actual myth of Dionysus being taken prisoner by pirates and subsequently transforming them into dolphins. As the god of theatre and transformation, Dionysus is an interesting and powerful patron. This play especially highlights gender and pronoun problems. 6. The Cat-Tastrophe in the Land of Fire (Winter 2021): The final and most recent play in this collection, The Cat-Tastrophe in the Land of Fire, is the most immediate sequel to the book Imagine the Key. Iris's girlfriend, Amaya, goes on her own journey through all seven Rainbow Path lands. But her unintentional spell has some pretty big consequences.

    The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    One of Nietzsche’s earliest works, The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a remarkable source of inspiration. It is here that the philosopher expresses his frustration with the contemporary world and urges man to embrace Dionysian energy once more. He refutes European culture since the time of Socrates, arguing that it is one-sidedly Apollonian and prevents man from living in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life. It is argued that the healthier culture can be perceived in the traditions of ancient Greece as the spectators of the tragic plays experienced Dionysus and Apollo in perfect harmony. However, Nietzsche has great faith in the human soul and presents a laudatory portrayal of Wagner, contending that his artistic spirit is the savior of Europe; Wagner’s music has sown the seeds for a period of liberating rebirth. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Duncan Steen.

    The Bassarids / Die Bassariden, 1 Blu-ray
    52 Jahre nach der Uraufführung kehrt Hans Werner Henzes Werk Die Bassariden wieder zu den Salzburger Festspielen zurück. Unter der Leitung von Kent Nagano war 2018 ein Revival des modernen Klassikers in einer höchst psychologischen Inszenierung von Krysztof Warlikowski zu erleben. Sich der Aktualität der Geschichte bewusst, stellt der Regisseur den starken Kontrast zwischen Dionysus, der berauschende Exzesse und Sinnlichkeit predigt, und seinem Cousin König Pentheus, der ein von Reinheit und Askese geprägtes Leben führt, heraus. Ein personifizierter Kampf, der die königliche Familie letztendlich in eine Katastrophe führt.Star-Dirigent Kent Nagano, der Henze sehr nahe stand, nahm für die Festival-Aufführung der Bassariden den etwa 20-minütigen Ausschnitt "The Judgment of Calliope" aus der Originalpartitur mit auf, um dem dionysischen Kult in der Oper eine neue Dimension zu verleihen. Die Aufführung in der Felsenreitschule verzeichnete eine ausnahmslos herausragende Besetzung mit dem jungen US-Tenor Sean Panikkar in der Rolle von Dionysos, Russel Braun als seinen Gegner Pentheus, aber auch Tanja Ariane Baumgartner und Vera-Lotte Böcker, die auf höchstem Niveau gesungen haben. Kurzum: "Eine absolut packende Neuproduktion" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
