What I would say is that the time in which the play is set is not that important, because the main theme is mostly the past event and that is what is important, the period when black people were in slavery and could not do almost anything because it was theirs boss who said what to do, where to do and how to do it.
In my oppinion the main scenario is somehow related to today's world and relevant, because still, there are people whose ancestors went through the period of slavery and they still can have some memories about them and some things which connects them to these people. The main thing, piano is something like family heritage and still you can find in some families, not only of black people but of people whose ancestors came through something different and I think that people who have some object like this does not want to give it away. But still you can find there differences between different family members and that is something what is still current for people now-days.
So yes, this play is still relevant and there can be seen connections with todays world.
Good, so then the time period of the character's past is important as it shapes the present situation too. The piano is a symbol of time perhaps? Or something from another time?
OdpovědětVymazatAlso, could this be translated into a different culture or time period -- for example, would it have the same effect if it were a Czech family after Communisim, or a Jewish family after the Holocaust? Could it still work or would it lose its flavor?
OdpovědětVymazatAs I see it the piano is a symbol of a whole period of time that is reflected in this story.
OdpovědětVymazatYes, I can simply imagine it as a story of Jewish family who had lost their relatives during holocaust or a Czech family after Communists, all those goups had lost someone and they could have such a fight for a family heritage, but also I think that the naturality of the Afroamaricans helps the story to be as it is, it would be totaly different if it was a story of different race, I would get it differently, because it could be closer story for me. The story of a few afroameticans after the slavery period is not really touching me, my life. But the answer is YES, it could be a story of a different people and still it will work well.
