The artist was present. “As I listened to the presentation, I had completely forgotten that I’m the author!” Günter Grass said after this “Tin Drum” premiere during the informal party. Even on stage at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, the Nobel laureate had cheerful smiling bow at his side the very young David Hofner, who had read with spooky cool intensity, the texts of the diminutive hero Oskar Matzerath from the off. The 87-year-old poet and the small, almost childlike star of the evening hand in hand with the final applause:. A beautiful picture
Prior to that shimmered Luk Perceval literature-processing is not quite as glamorous. Cut down on scarce two hours sailed his “Tin Drum” in fairly calm waters. Lots of white linen hung over the entire stage height, reminiscent of a ship the rigging as always inflated by a storm came at the famous glass-busting Oskar Crying in rapid motion. You could translate the laundry bits and pieces as broken glass when a picture was by powerful symbols.
One more it sat Luk Perceval with text projections on the Walla Lingerie, if someone in the audience could not quite follow the very clear presentation of the read-genius David Hofner. A touch of folk high school blew more than once over the boards. Often you remembered the famous film Volker Schlöndorff, the structured similarly had evaporated the novel on a slight consumable format.
Tempo, slapstick and solid Remmidemmi
that possessed the wonderful seven-member ensemble of actors excellent vocals, Transferred from the start to the thread of the staging. Whether Volkstümliches as “An der Saale bright beach” or country-pop like “Do not Fence Me In”, always intoned the Septet in best harmony quality are not always easy arrangements. What exactly do these elaborate performances with the history of recalcitrant Oskar Matzerath and his anarchic vision had to do the German history, was not entirely clear. In any case, the virtuoso vocal separated the scenes very aesthetic.
The Director-aesthetics had cast a lot of space, limited to routine choreographed persons Director as Luk Perceval already in its much more complex literary adaptations of Dostoevsky “The brothers Karamosow” Hans Fallada or “Every Man Dies Alone” is used very efficiently. Thilo Werner and the magnificent Gabriela Maria Schmeide (last on the canvas in Sönke Wortmann’s “Mrs. Müller must go!” Successfully) played several roles, which brought pace, slapstick and solid Remmidemmi, otherwise slowed Perceval events like from.
The great art of Barbara nuts
The biggest actor’s win of the evening, however, Barbara nuts was in the role of Oskar Matzerath than double little Oskar to the magical voice-David Hofner. What seem a joke anmutete – the 72-year-old grande dame of Thalia Theater as screaming tin drummer – developed thanks to the great art of Barbara nuts to a completely independent, road-worthy interpretation of the novel. Nuts managed the paradox, while building nearby and a distant view of Oskar Matzerath. Unfortunately, the director turned this option too little. Barbara nuts could be only the newly illuminated figure situational gleam – a compelling dramatic experience, a history to which it was supposed to go on the stage, was not it
Text litter, expectable and therefore something. boring
More Thalia stars like Alexander Simon as Oscars father Alfred Matzerath and André Szymanski as Jan Bronski delivered from reliable studies, but like everything always stayed as snapshots from the literary photo album. Text litter, expectable and therefore somewhat boring, which is why the two theaters hours extended significantly.
At the same time director Oliver Reese had the “Tin Drum” reduced in Frankfurt Theatre for a one-person Oscar-piece a few weeks ago: The weed-book, since the publication in 1959 controversial and debated, also proved in this very succeeded Thalia evening as a permanent object of artistic desire. But perhaps Luk Perceval should be easy once again given to substances that have been designed for the stage, no longer gives a dramatic gymnastics is a priority.
Finally, there was friendly but short Premieres applause, especially for the venerable Grass and his youthful voice.
