Crito. An adaptation to Chinese shadows' theatre
Author: Publisher: Gregori Navarro
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The book you are holding in your hands is a dramatization of one of Plato's most widely read Socratic dialogues. After the "Apology of Socrates", published in this same collection, we thought it necessary to adapt this work since it is its continuation. In this dialogue, and after Socrates' trial and condemnation to death narrated in the "Apology of Socrates", his friend Crito maintains the hope of the old philosopher's salvation and makes him a proposal. This work becomes an educational resource to work in the classroom in a multidisciplinary way: we will work on oratory, memorization, emphasis and dramatization of reading, philosophy, ancient history, theatrical performance, handicrafts, group work, structuring tasks and functions,... This book is designed to be read and played.

Magic Shadows

Book Description
The art of "magic shadows" which just before the dawn of the twentieth century evolved into the modern motion picture, was born three centuries ago, in Rome. Just at the appointed hour for Kircher's show, a few distinguished Monsignori, in flowing purple were driven to the entrance in their carriages with a mounted escort. Nothing like Kircher's show had ever been presented before. He had chained light and shadow, but the suspicion was held by some of the spectators that there was a dark magic about it all and that Kircher had dabbled in the black arts.
