Resumen de En busca de las palabras sabias: las Eurídices negras
"In search of wise words: the Black Eurydices". Eurydice Orpheus' wife was a moritura puella, a girl doomed to die, who lacked a wise speech in Classical Literature. The heroes of Greco-Latín Antiquity have been constantly revisited in Western culture. These myths usually maintain their most relevant traits, but sometimes they show certain ideological and cultural changes. The Orpheus and the Eurydice recreated by the Brazilian Vinicius de Moraes in his dramatic work "Orfeu da Conceição" (1956) are black and dance samba during carnival in Rio. These new heroes became worldwide popular thanks to the cinematographic version of M. Camus (Black Orpheus, 1959). This chapter explores the important influence of these recreations on two dramatic works: "Orphée Négre" (1967) by Daniel Boukman (from Martinique) and "Carnaval de Orfeo" (1980) by José Milián (from Cuba). In this works the main female character acquires new philosophical and feminist discourses, which there are now wise words.
