“Judith”: Frank Castorf staged Hebbel with Wuttke and Minichmayr – THE WORLD

the program booklets are in a grotesque disproportion to stage events at the Berliner Volksbühne. There are really only Programmzettelchen, measly leaflets, greaseproof paper. They are so thin, they are not even as improvised Schlafbrillen.

And a nap must at all times make, always, at every performance, especially when Castorf is personally tuned. René Pollesch staged, too often, but dismisses the audience graciously after a half hour, not just in the plain, but still in liberty. Castorf contrast emphasizes at every opportunity, he believes in exhaustion. Only he means not one’s own, but that of the public.

lever Conserve, Hebbel’s head off

Different faiths are also a problem in” Judith “, a only diehard training citizens not completely forgotten piece of Friedrich Hebbel, who is said to have tilted in real life in Vienna mid-19th century to the awkwardness, but one in his dramas almost had tarantinohaften penchant for violence. The rule of thumb among Germanic freshmen who have difficulty to distinguish it from the “Unexpected Reunion” -Dichter Johann Peter Hebel could be: lever Conserve, Hebbel’s head off

In Berlin remains of Martin Wuttke rather long turn. But the barber heard hanged. Wuttkes Holofernes might be Assyrians. That does not excuse the long arm-length ponytail, which rises a shaved head. Wuttke’s head looks like a Lipizzaner butt. Since the nose ring is hardly worth mentioning.

Nevertheless, Birgit Minichmayr as Judith finds him astray sharp. She herself is so incredibly sexy that Sigmund Freud, who ought to know, she had explained to incarnate castration anxiety. Your own people, the Hebrews out of town Bethulien just sneak difficult distraught around them, like teenagers who have discovered the first containing pornography. But who is to such horrors as hair Holofernes capable of coming clear with the Minichmayr. “I have two, three marriages behind me,” he says.

The background story is not straightforward, but does not play a special role. The Assyrian army marodiert through the area. Holofernes is commander, his boss called Nebuchadnezzar, to you perhaps know of Heinrich Heine. Not so important. Judith sits sour in the besieged city. The men we had, Can not Jump. Her first husband was even really impotent, not only metaphorically. So she decides after several days of fasting, to sneak into the enemy camp and killing Holofernes. Instead, she sleeps with him, which, according to Freud’s about the same. But:. Lipizzaner butt Holofernes is not impressed

For Castorf this “Judith” is relatively unfunny

This is at Hebbel about the plot until the fifth act. After that only comes from head end. Castorf makes here two and a half hours gleefully break. It was frankly quite tiring. Relatively unwitzig, unlike him. The grandiloquent Hebbel tone that his colleague Nestroy in 1849 in an elaborate parody called “Judith and Holofernes” mocked, has somehow managed, even in the midst of all beanbags that pile up to a considerable pile, all the fog, the trouble is are, mysterious to waft and in any case stinks beastly, the orange tents left and the different screens – one will be shut down cinemascope moderately if necessary – to survive. “The way to my deed goes through sin,” says stuff. It almost seems as if Castorf, who has the Volksbühne already leveled with concrete before Chris Dercon soon takes over as director, scaring the last spectators. There remain but all sit – Premiere professionals halt

It is worth it .. The Castorftransport picks up speed. A lot of member choir, according to the greaseproof paper program counts a certain displeasure, talks about Baudrillard. Or by Baudrillard. It’s about Occident and Orient, like the other to the dialectic, and media productions. Basically probably to the question of what the Islamic state drives. This had in fact been the dramatic introduction of Carl Hegemann suggests on the Web page: “Even today there are fighters who, maybe, want to say fuck the West for reasons similar to Judith, the unbelievers.” Is Judith So jihadi John? A Jewess of IS? Would Castorf rausholen the antisemitism-lobe? Well, the choir and heinermüllert einarschleeft to himself.

Wuttke has placed a rapper cap, with plenty güldenem bling-bling. In his tinsel robe, against whom he has swapped his camouflage caftan, he looks like Immortan Joe in “Mad Max: Fury Road” shortly after the visit to the dentist. Birgit Minichmayr also rips open his mouth. However, this still does not explain this Obertonkreischen that is perfectly clear. Against what she does, Kieksen is Bassgedröhne. Wuttke climbs in mock slow up the fire escape, which leads to his chambers.

Martin Wuttke considered a fellatio movies

Why? Because he can! On top of the screen running an old “Judith” -Stummfilm. The black and white Judith plays tenderly with the sword, with which it will decapitate their oldschool Holofernes equal. In Berlin, meanwhile, interested Wuttke considered a fellatio movies. Minichmayr has laboriously pulled a plastic curtain, Wuttke wraps therein and rides around on it. Wuttke waving a little bit and choked. So it would happen to you when you had sex in the whole-body condom. Judith still has behind fear of pregnancy. Psychologically not entirely convincing, the sudden Sensibelchen.

Holofernes might eh pay alimony. Because with Castorf he wakes up again and dictated larger than life in the camera, that it probably would be ridiculous if men as he made the fly, just so that the whole bourgeois dutifully pay taxes. Is that the new interpretation? Is about Holofernes the IS, the radical promise in boring times, the excuse for all megalomaniac Globalisiserungsloser? One does not know. Jasna Fritzi Bauer is also visibly irritated. As maid Mirza, from the one doubts even at Hebbel what they should because she flits bravely across the stage. It helps Judith during weaving and wearing a later Holofernes rubber head under the miniskirt. After all: You can be of Minichmayr not steal the show, which is no small feat

This works only at the very end of a real live camel that Judith and. Mirza lead to the Sandbag Castle. It looks almost as distraught as the audience. In spite of everything: not a bad Castorf, even if that sounds funny. His theater has now trains a transcendental meditation, a mental alchemy in which, if you let it simmer for hours only, from camel dung gold. Thus indoctrinated, you want to convert to exhaustion faith.
