NORMA, an Agglomeration of Magnanimity

Words, get up and follow me!

. . . onward, there’s no end ahead.

Ingeborg Bachmann

1: Theme

In a world of warriors (the Romans and Gauls have the same war gods) a priestess known for her chastity has instituted a reform introducing lost matriarchal rites ascribed to the moon goddess. Put simply: it’s all about peace.

But this revolutionary woman is not a “new type of human being,” nor is she chaste; she has an erotic secret (revealed in circumspect nineteenth-century spirit). Just before a (possible) reconciliation can take place, a tragic chain of events occurs. To prevent an annihilating massacre, Norma sacrifices herself. This wins back Pollione’s admiration, which he expresses by offering up his own life.
