As a postmodern dramatist, Howard Barker does not assume any presupposed meanings or messages of his writings. However, he deliberately and systematically works on deconstructing those ‘grand narratives’ that shape and give meaning to this world. In Judith, Barker challenges the audience’s understanding of history and their knowledge of the biblical story of Judith. His interest in the story is to defy traditional view towards the events, especially those which are related to religion, gender, history and violence. The current study aims at showing how seduction and extremity of violence constitute the heart of Barker’s Judith. It also shows how he connects violence to sex, seduction, and gender. Through these elements, Barker creates an atmosphere of uneasiness and bewilderment that necessitates deep thinking on the part of the audience. Barker uses history to rewrite it, religion to reveal his faith in Christianity and violence to reveal it as a human instinct and a necessity. In Barker’s play, sex and violence are intermingled as two related sides that form greater part in staging catastrophe. The ultimate goal of this paper is to show Judith as the product of The Theater of Catastrophe which relates violence to gender and seduction. As a Biblical story the play embraces a great amount of violence which the researchers examine in detail. |
