NEEDLES AND OPIUM

Ich kann gar nicht fassen, was in dieser düsteren Inszenierung abging. Ein Würfel als Raum, über eine Ecke in alle Richtungen drehbar, darin 2 Darsteller, teils durch den sich drehenden Raum schwebend, als #JeanCocteau und #MilesDavis mit verrückten Texten, untermalt von Miles' lasziver Trompete... War das die dunkle Seite des Cirque du Soleil?

Ich bin ganz außer mir.

Robert LePage’s Hamlet without Words, Words, Words

What a treat. Last night a group of us celebrated a friend’s birthday by attending the Robert LePage production of Hamlet. Billed as a Hamlet without words Le LePage collaborated with choreographer Guillaume Côté, who also danced the title role, to deliver a piece almost entirely as a ballet performed by a company of nine. It was an exquisite theatrical adventure. 

With the exception of a few supertitles announcing character entrances for identification, the story unfolds and unfurls through dance, and Côté’s choreography was excellent throughout. Although, I felt the vocabulary he established for himself in the title role was not as strong or consistently surprising as it was for the rest of the ensemble. In and of itself surprising, because the entire story revolves around Hamlet’s surprising reactions to the events enfolding him. 

The true standout in the company was Carleen Zouboules as Ophelia. Her descent into madness, her drowning, and the graveyard scene were the highlights among many in the production. The entire ensemble were excellent and each had standout moments of their own.

LePage always surprises and Chicago audience were lucky to have this US premiere here. Thrilled I got to see it. There’s a trailer linked below, although it seems to have a larger ensemble than the nine person version we saw last night.

“If you want to create something new and innovative you have to start with chaos.”

I really enjoyed this interview with Robert Lepage sharing about his work creating Peter Gabriel’s stage shows.

“For me, it was trying to find that fine line between keeping the authenticity of Peter’s persona without making any compromise and keeping the people bewitched by the experience.”

Having seen both the Growing Up Live and the ¡/o tours the sense of being bewitched, mesmerized by the interplay of visual and musical arts is an apt description. Each show has been absolutely astounding. The New Blood tour also had amazing visual effects paired with the sound of a full orchestra.
