It’s all there: the rings under the ceiling, the heavy leather balls in the wire basket, the horse and other obstacles to be overcome. You will feel immediately in the school back at the sight of the gym, the Anna Viebrock for “The Wehleider” on the stage of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. You almost get the smell in the nose.
Christoph Marthaler’s new drama-with-vocal-night, “The Wehleider” lives of such recognition effects for his middle-class audience. But as in the case of Marthaler and his – and here the expression is true – congenial stage and costume designer Anna Viebrock usual, dominated the night, also fine reality shifts. To the right of the stage is a little diving Board is pretty free of sense, between the gym equipment, a piano is placed, and instead of gym mats there are terrible-very colorful patterned mattresses.
Babbling about their own well-being
According to Marthaler’s game manual this hall has been transformed after she is no longer needed for refugees, now in a temporary home for patients of a private clinic, because of the large demand for their anxiety and depression therapies problems with the accommodation.
15 the need for Treatment to the beginning of the Evening here, strictly guided and guarded by Irm Hermann in the doctor’s white coat. Once you have set up on your mattress, you begin to lament: that you can only afford a cleaning lady or nanny, living in the suburbs was unreasonable. “I want to do something meaningful.” – “You’re not.” In between are interspersed the individual rates of the ennuierten, traditional society from Gorky’s “summer guests” in their Speeches. Not everything is to be understood, but this is not necessary, because the Babble about their own well-being is to become of these people with their luxury problems is a long an end in itself.
It is clear that the well-to-do Europe that can treat men in gutgeschnittenen suits and ladies with pearl necklaces in Gucci, Prada and Chanel copies; German, French, English, Spanish. And in the midst of it, Josef Ostendorf as Donald-Trump-blend that attacks a woman’s right to the Pussy, if the opportunity arises.
The aliens are among us
of Course, race Director Marthaler and his dramaturg Stefanie Carp and the Ensemble’s wide-open doors, with their criticism of people, the accommodation, the fall in the value of your property as an Argument against the construction of a Refugee to lead, claiming their “right to peace” or, if you shoot a refugee, ask him how to catalog want to choose. Who needs it still, for a program to issue extracts from Herfried and Marina Münklers “The new German”, your call, inertia, and comfort behind, and to understand the social changes as an opportunity.
Marthaler for this inertia is a beautiful picture: In the turn of an hour, the patients are moved, instead of moving yourself, your three advisors: one Of being lifted over the horse, as if he could fly, the other is set like a doll, a foot in front of the other.
Joaquin Abella, Haizam Fathy and Antonio Jimenez Navarro playing these nurses used by the hospital management, also to exposure therapy: The aliens are among us. To emphasize the strangeness, Marthaler selected for these roles three dancers – but he knew, apparently, not always so little to start with them; some of their performances seem a little duty guilty.
Harder line against the end of
But even if, to the knowledge of “The Wehleider” may not be particularly high: Rare is the condition it was Packed description of our society as beautiful, as in the case of Marthaler. Since time immemorial, he is a master of it, the beauty and the horror exhibit in the German and international songs alike. A lot of romantic and a lot about Dying, he allows his Ensemble to sing as a Canon, polyphonic, piano and a cappella. As a disturber, a Medley of Modern Talking and Cheerful in between times Racist and Sexist, which is identified in the program as a “Best of Mallorca in 2016″. And again and again – quietly, like a Swan song -”joy, beautiful gods, the Europe sparks”, anthem.
And because we understand the concerns of the Evening so quickly, remains a lot of time to look about Details: How Sachiko Hara from her purse Spaghetti during Gala Othero Winter, Before eating, and disadvantages of various diets down rattles, until you only astronaut food remains as a possibility left. How great it looks, if 15 actor in a series, each to play his mattress in front of you, a human Domino. The care with which Anna Viebrock, especially the Actresses for every new appearance of other design outfits compiled, always oscillates between Verhuschtheit and bourgeois.
So this could go on for a long time, but then Marthaler switches shortly before the end but even on a harder line: In a not-too-distant future, five men before a kind of Tribunal because they speak to the “woman world President”, and steal, from officials to leaders, in many complicated word phrases from the responsibility for the countless deaths that came at the external borders of the “former Europe” about life. The Parallels to Nazi trials and the Auschwitz memorial hours are abundantly clear, even before Jean-Pierre Cornu, Graham F. Valentine, stay, the words stuck in the throat.
in order for the audience of this moral club does not feel killed, leads the Ensemble for the good the end in a fashion show the whimsical nature of what it is worn among all the noble costumes: bodices, corsets, Shapewear and belly-bands, which hold the part a little prosperity neglected body together. Big round of applause for this navel-gazing.
