Victory Over the Sun in English

[Inna Tigountsova]

Hello,

"A brief synopsis" of "Victory over the Sun" in English is published by Smithsonian Institute, Washington, DC, in the 80s. It includes drawings of costumes, stage directions, and more. Synopsis is done by Charlotte Douglas, and the book can be found in the WorldCat and in quite a few libraries. It's basically a description of a re-creation of the original 1913 production, but it does include the lyrics themselves, that is to say, a partial English translation. It is a wonderful resource because it's looking at "Victory" as a theatre production rather than a 'flat,' 'one-dimensional' literary text. There is also a video of that re-creation (directed by Robert Benedetti) but I haven't seen it.

Hope this helps,

Inna Tigountsova
