Short description of contents:
This article explores the latest mise en scène of "Gysbreght van Aemstel" by Joost van den Vondel staged by Het Toneel Speelt at the Stadsschouwburg of Amsterdam on New Year’s Day 2012. It discusses the three new choir poems composed by Willem Jan Otten specifically for this event and the acting technique used to perform them. Through a short analysis of the historical and theatrical contexts of the tragedy and of the spectacular issues that allowed its long-lasting staging fortune, the article aims at demonstrating that the representability of Gysbreght van Amstel on contemporary stages does not depend only on the play's aesthetic beauty, but also on its potentiality to respond to the religious, emotional and cultural needs of our present society.
