there by taxi from their State opera premiere late in the Academy of Arts in order to pick up her award, her presenter, the singer mate Christian Gerhaher, sent from London a video message. This is Berlin, and it is a very Berlinischer Price:. Substance 1948 he recalls the courageous people who in 1848 went to the barricades and paid for their commitment to freedom and democracy with life
This has in the ceremony Jeanine Meerapfel emphasized the President of the Academy of Arts, connected with an appeal to help people now seek with us protection and asylum. The Governing Mayor Michael Mueller then mentions also the same Frank Castorf “one of the most important theater artists of our time” and a “specialist upheavals and revolutions”. Castorf gets this year, this evening at the Pariser Platz, the Art Prize of Berlin. Or? On the certificate they wrote his name wrong Casdorf with d. He takes it easy, works at all in a good mood, the hair brought short as ever and his mother. And Sophie Rois brings his honor a Qualtinger skit with two old actors in the dressing room.
Well, how was I? The winners will be presented and interviewed in talk show style that lasts and led to curatorial cleverness Meier talk. The photographer Sven Johne, architects Kersten Geers and David Van Severen from Belgium, the composer Stefan Prins, the writer Angelika Meier, the sound engineer Peter Avar and Gluck’s enchanting Eurydice Anna Prohaska – these are the winners in 2016 in the various departments, all considerably younger as the 64-year-old main winners, so it should be.
holds the laudation on popular platforms boss Frank Castorf Ulrich Matthes, Director, Division of Performing Arts. You know them personally hardly, the actor and the director, but as the very launched to chat Matthes says that could change if Castorf “enters old fashion, delicate phase” in his. Matthes’ speech testifies to great respect, even if he has pursued a completely different aesthetics during 25 Volksbühne years, at issue here, as an actor on the stage and at the Deutsches Theater. Matthes admires the “energy and charisma” of Castorf Theater, which was contemporary necessarily – and a theater actor. At first he was “stunned” and “terror” but “insanity, wit, intelligence and anger” of the director and the people stage directors act dialectically. You do not like it, but is influenced by it.
Castorf says he is a happy man because he always says what he thinks
And he himself? Starts nölig in order to leave out for a good half hour on Schiller, Marx, Lenz and Büchner and Bakunin in his typical Castorf swing. Some of what he says sounds like understanding of AFD voters, because of Carl Schmitt and so he says kindly, “Our soft purged concept of democracy has never interested me,” ever anywhere too much consensus. And he was so far a happy man, as he always said what he thought. Virtually anything you can hear the imminent departure of the Volksbühne in a good year – finally it was Michael Müller, who has appointed a successor to Chris Dercon. But the name does not fall, no hard feelings .
On the one hand, the end a retrospective evening, because almost everything Matthes describes to Castorf’s theater, Provokatin, the energetic aura is, well, not wild. And on the other hand is clear: the concerns us in Berlin did not get lost, which belongs here. Interesting how much Matthes confesses to the west, as citizens of West Berlin son born in 1959, that you will always, somehow. And as Castorf understands the origin from the East rather than concept, as a license to Maulen and an anarchic conception of freedom. As says Ulrich Matthes? Castorf has “true brutality, not just a bad character. The many “.
