The last great Puccini opera is inspired by a fairy tale: A seemingly harmless and delightful choice (considering that, with a lot of superficiality and lightness, usually think of the fairy tale as a product - even worse, a byproduct - only suitable for children) but in fact extremely challenging and exciting, like it is now considering the time (four years) and the amount of energy expended by Puccini ; time and energy that were not, however, sufficient to lead to term "Turandot." The tale, like the myth comes from the most remote part of the unconscious, collective quell'inconscio Jung has identified and developed, recognizing the great richness and fertility, and that is the basis and the matrix of all manifestation and psychic evolution. "The unconscious is expressed through images," said Jung, and images (dreams, myths, legends, fables, visions), in their striking beauty, alluding to the reality that transcends rational logic, too schematic and set of directed thought, for express the diversity and complexity of the inner world, with its eternal conflicts and attempts at solution.
"The truth has not come the world naked, but loves to hide "read already the largest of the sages of antiquity, quell'Eraclito has been called the" dark "for the depth, the enigmatic and paradoxical nature of his thought, but that, especially for his extraordinary intuition proved to be the most modern. I remember that the term imago (from which our image and all terms related to the imaginary) is composed of imo = deep, underneath, and from August agere = to act, and therefore means "that which acts from within", which is therefore far from harmless or inert, relegated only to the aesthetic, as we want to believe in our civilization. In fact, the pictures continue to act from the deep and subtle and therefore use irresposabile marketing is making it dangerous.
In trying to make their way into consciousness, emerging from the undifferentiated chaos of the unconscious, the images are organized and structured into patterns that establish the main threads of myths, legends and fairy tales, with countless variations, found in all traditions and in many different cultures.
Art has always fished in this beautiful and boundless wealth, even helping to sustain, enrich and shape it, or by direct inspiration of the artists who fish from their unconscious or transcription starting from free and creative mythological tracks already exist. Homer is already the prototype of the poet-singer who uses a creative and amplify the stories and the stories of legendary heroes and gods, contributing to the transmission and enrichment of culture. In the world of music just think of Wagner or the "Magic Flute" by Mozart to open your eyes to the importance of the themes and mythological fable. The archetypal figure that underlies the human capacity to transform images into art (music and poetry) is Orpheus, who received a gift with a lyre by Apollo (the father of the Muses) sings the Mysteries of Dionysus, thus unifying the symbolic two major elements: the Apollonian and Dionysian art that only just finding their equilbrio and synthesis. And here is an open discussion very fascinating and complex, ranging from Nietzsche and Rilke, I can not proceed. However, I declare that I won the position of Rilke and his Orfeo as an authentic representative of the spirit that tends to restore a unified vision and restore harmony between the two worlds (conscious - unconscious, over - under, life - death), healing the breakdown of modern man.
With "Turandot" we are facing a major reason for the evolution of consciousness: the theme of the liberation of women and the transformation of violent abuse and dependence relation to the reciprocity of Eros. But as we will see how to dot the various aspects and what it is evolution.
