Le DÃ(c)sastre De Lisbonne [French]

"Le D sastre De Lisbonne" is a historical drama in three acts, written in prose and incorporating dance and pantomime, by Jean Nicolas Bouilly with music by Alexandre Piccinni. Inspired by the devastating Lisbon earthquake of 1755, the play explores themes of human suffering, resilience, and the search for meaning in the face of unimaginable disaster. Bouilly, known for his libretti, and Piccinni, a composer of Italian origin, combine their talents to create a powerful theatrical experience. This work reflects the philosophical and artistic responses to one of the most significant natural disasters in European history. The dramatic narrative and incorporation of music and dance provide a rich, multi-faceted portrayal of the Lisbon catastrophe, offering a unique perspective on the event and its impact.
