The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
音符旋律以及愛是超越文字、種族、意識形態的存在
专门挑了这么一个时间重温，知道泪点低，但没想到从第一首歌就开始大哭，一直哭到最后。除了剧本身，还想起很多事，想起在伦敦的现场，想起2020年没能成行的中巡。现在笔袋上还挂着西区散场后从工作人员那得到的“dats a moose”的徽章，什么时候能再回去看现场。
911过后不得不临时停靠在一个小岛上的众多航班，7000多个乘客和9000多个小岛居民的相知相处故事。大难来临造就的意外邂逅，各种语言、宗教、文化，甚至物种的碰撞，很多幽默和感动。
第一次知道这个剧是网易云推荐了一段女机长的自白的唱段，从一路成长的热血沸腾到她听到911消息的落寞，让听者也跟着一路情绪过山车。后来看了录像的完整版本也觉得小镇居民，各个乘客很可爱。守望互助大抵如此了吧。刚看到come from away开始疫情后的线下售票了，可以规划一下了！
就个人而言，这部音乐剧给我的感触不是很深，可能某些剧情会有所触动，里面的音乐也没能让我记忆犹深。
演员太强了！换身衣服就是另一个人，一人n角毫无违和。女机长戳到泪点了……就很可惜去年疫情没看成现场
看多了内娱的面瘫脸，在这里每一个演员身上深切感受到了什么叫做才华横溢。 纪念这一瞬间失去的和重新获得的一切。感谢动人的故事和如此精巧有力的表达。
最感动的几个moment和唱段。他们铺起毯子开始祷告的一段。👮飞行员的唱段，Me and the Sky - Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky. ✈️ 返程飞机上的唱段，Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, you've found your heart and left a part of you behind. 💦 分别的唱段，Something’s missing. 👨🌾 岛民最后的唱段，Tonight we honor what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.
托尼奖音乐剧官摄版本，每一位演员都饰演了多个角色，演技好，唱功棒，情节衔接紧凑，笑点伴着泪点，在那黑暗的一天，給世人带来温暖的是一座来自寒冷的加拿大的小镇
超级好看！！看的2021官摄。整部剧节奏非常快，经常是上一秒眼泪还往下流，下一秒马上又能让你笑。整部剧以911事件发生时纽芬兰每个小人物的生活为视角，百姓的生活其实更让人揪心：在飞机上度过20+小时的旅客，一个小小的岛上一夕之间来了一倍岛民数量的陌生人，还有38架大型飞机。岛民的无私帮助让这些恐慌的陌生人感到温暖，不仅是人，还有飞机上的动物也得到了很好的照顾。还有美国第一位女机长的故事，她冲破了当时人们对女机长的偏见，不禁让我想起了之前有部纪录片讲述了想当火车司机的女性，她们需要的不仅是学习技能，还有与世俗对抗的勇气。
最感动的，是艺术家们沉醉于艺术之中，投入而纯粹的样子
看剧好幸福 me and the sky好好听 本来20年能在剧场见的我好恨啊
可惜因为疫情被取消的中国巡演（本来都买好了票
Tonight we honor what was lost But we also commemorate what we found
看的第一部官摄音乐剧 911事件后来自各地的旅客迫降甘德小镇的故事 故事很暖心 歌也很好听 虽然没在现场但被表演和舞台设置深深震撼到了 希望有机会能现场看表演（看完更希望本哥重回音乐剧舞台了
我太佩服这部音乐剧的编排了，明明每个演员都在一人分饰多角，但全靠编排调度，让观众丝毫不会迷惑。最喜欢女机长的自白，人生可不就是一个接着一个的suddenly吗？
看音乐剧真的能让我感动生理性的愉悦 并不是什么需要拆解钻研的深奥主题 也没有复杂的情感层次 爱 感动 一些主旋律的关键词 永远可以相信百老汇的演绎 对于美国的文艺作品非常钦佩的一点就是正视创伤的勇气 We honor what we lost we commemorate what we got. 很喜欢Dover Fault的片段 大陆汇聚又分离 但总会留下痕迹 正是脚下的这座小岛 自然的洪荒 时间的绵长 和你我的命运如此交织在一起。
希望早日到剧场看🥺🥺期待了太久了，未来可期吧
太好哭了。不论来自哪里 情感还是所向披靡（天才大礼包这个戏是 情感浓度过高了呜哇————
表演很热情，很有生命力。
