The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
富足的精神食粮！好期待能去百老汇现场把音乐剧看个够！（但是对于台北那一句我还是有点敏感了） 2021.12.26
太好看了吧！每个角色都很有性格有记忆点，台词唱段幽默动人，陌生人之间的善意真美好。
看的第一部官摄音乐剧 911事件后来自各地的旅客迫降甘德小镇的故事 故事很暖心 歌也很好听 虽然没在现场但被表演和舞台设置深深震撼到了 希望有机会能现场看表演（看完更希望本哥重回音乐剧舞台了
一个时代创伤被用这么温柔温暖的笔触抚慰 大哭一场的同时也感觉被治愈了
哭死我了，故事本就很动人，这舞台调度更是超凡
今日被影版DEH伤碎的心靠CFA来拯救了😭
精彩绝伦！！！
CFA！！！世界上最好的音乐剧！！！本岛民热泪盈眶！！！
看之前甚至不知道这是一部关于911的歌舞剧，前面还在想怎么会有这么奇怪的故事设定（籍籍无名的小镇突然迎来大量飞机和数千名旅客），反应过来后十分佩服这个“在别处”的视角。
#How a small island changes the world when the world is on the edge of falling.
"We honor what was lost. But we also commemorate what we found." 有趣又感人 真·命运共同体 看完好治愈啊🥰
看的是官摄所以标个电影吧～很感动…机长之歌很振奋；“tonight we honour what we lost but we also commemorate what we found”。

西安疫情lockdown，楼下大喇叭里“请大家保持距离 防止交叉感染” 萦绕不停。面前荧幕里的人们高歌“I’m an islander. I’m an islander.”眼睛里是不容忽视的、充满生命力的光。会好的，我坚信。
7，感谢Apple，感慨舞台和音乐的魔力，故事简单风趣又真诚平实，歌曲稍逊色大概只有三首比较出色，同样是让几十年前的记忆保持鲜活，国内影视行业应该好好学习一下，911的影视舞台歌曲作品层出不穷，发掘新视角塑造真情实感很重要
明明网易云听了好几遍才来看的音乐剧，还是一开场就泪目。想起来地震后的很多，人与人之间的相互关爱，是世界上最美好的事。
It's a celebration of humanity。
喜气洋洋喝碗911美国鸡汤。价值观不完全认同，因为立场差异很大，客观讲是好剧，因为我是客观立场。
