FRÜHLING, ERWACHEN is a contemporary opera based on Frank Wedekind's Frühlings Erwachen. It sketches a society that has little love for its children and reacts to their wild, healthy curiosity with panic-stricken, brutal intimidation and humiliation as well as with uncomprehending prudishness and a refusal of sexual education. Two young people die, Moritz, whom unkindness and unbearable pressure from parents and school drive to suicide. Also the life-hungry, pregnant Wendla, who could give birth to a perfectly healthy child if she were not - for her own good - administered a poisonous abortifacient. What if bodies are not allowed to meet and have to keep their distance, but want to discover each other? Fantasies that cannot be embodied because they are not allowed to be. How to solve this? Today there is a very clear and immediate answer: sex toys. We took these as a fascinating reference to bring Frühlings Erwachen (Frank Wedekind, 1891) to the present. |

GEORGIA BOTTOMS a contemporary setting of Marc Childress' novel of the same name, Georgia frees herself from the chains to which she had become so accustomed. After her love for Jeff fails due to the racism of the small American town of Six Points, she lives an independent, ambiguous life that she finances with sexual favours to the town's all-married dignitaries, top secret of course. Then her 19-year-old son Nathan, whom she had given away as a baby and tried to forget, suddenly turns up, and her well-organised life is thrown into turmoil... The text is asking for precise and practical spacialities, so we found it interestig to work with the simbolism of spaces. Which elements do we need to narrate commonplaces on stage? How could we represent a reality in an abstract and concrete way at the same time? We would like to hereby scharpen the view of the audience. The second, third or fourth gaze may turn out to be more exciting than you thought. |
