The Nietzsche Circle is proud to present the World Premiere of Requiem Aeternam Deo, a new play based on Friedrich Nietzsche’s 1883 ‘philosophical novel,’ Thus Spoke Zarathustra, written and directed by Fulya Peker.
REQUIEM AETERNAM DEO
A play for everyone and nobody
“He saw with eyes that saw everything; he saw the depths and grounds of the human.”
Zarathustra, the awakened one, through whom a god dances, will bring his sacred and secret gift to humanity: an eternal requiem for God.
Will man become ripe enough to witness his woe in the very naked eyes of Zarathustra, and laugh? Will he endure the continuous bewilderment of overcoming fear and pity? Will he become child enough to create beyond himself and thereby perish?
When the time comes, will we be ready to take off our shoes and feel the earth?
This is a confrontation with the idea of being a part of and being apart from the sacred eternity.
Ms. Peker is a Turkish-born poet, actor, playwright and director. She is a 2003 graduate of Ankara State Conservatory, Turkey, with a BA in Drama, and has received her MA in Theatre, Literature, History & Criticism from Brooklyn College (2006). Requiem Aeternam Deo constitutes her US directorial debut. Recently, she worked as an intern with Richard Foreman on WAKE UP MR. SLEEPY! YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND IS DEAD! and with The Wooster Group on *Richard Burton’s Hamlet.*
