In John Neumeier's Death in Venice (2003), titled after Thomas Mann's novella, the protagonist is not a writer but a choreographer in a creative crisis. He is bringing back another kind of sexy--the one that lived in the imaginations of 20th-century novelists like Thomas Mann, author of Death in Venice, and the portraiture of English painter David Hockney. In addition to the incest of Euripides's Phaedra (in which Phaedra, the wife of the mythical hero Theseus, falls in love with her stepson, Hippolytus), there is the anguish of an old man in The Overcoat by Gogol and the creeping decrepitude of Death in Venice by Thomas Mann, both made for Rudolf Nureyev shortly before the dancer's death in 1993. |
