The 3rd dancing with the count is a production based on Martin Luthers writings and his biblical translation. Goodness now the high. 5000 feet. Has its kinds of conditions. On fans are go inside for you that was always plagued by incredible anxiety from the time when he 1st believed them and over that so that makes it so relevant for us hi im going because we also live in a period when everybody is plagued by anxiety and feels threatened the eve of he created a new idea in which he believed so far that faith and trust in jesus christ and the word of god would help him find something to rely on him as i wrote it was a figment of a song. I think thats a very contemporary issue that many people asserting today for somebody something they can still trust come on a wall before ptolemy. Robert wilson trusts his images. Of their trusted language and translated the bible from greek into german. Production plays with luthers language his translations and writings. Some of the text sorry cited in the original greek by the actress lydia corny on to who is currently the Greek Culture minister. Says. That the entire Creative Team is international. Its been out since long a buy for me as ive been involved in developing the project from the start and thats why we call ourselves the Creative Team because we Work Together and each person contributes ideas which have been developed because it all of course subordinate to the basic idea that bald head and what the idea is inspiring him. With slide forward. The old master of images is still full of inspiration and the ideas are perfected step by step. For wilson every movement every posture has to be just trying to eat. All the. Stuff that rests. On the floor here. Are basically its an enormous jigsaw puzzle that Robert Wilson has constructing. In all my works i diagram them or. Put them together mathematically so i can see the total picture quickly and. Later we can fill in for more content. A crucial element is the lighting. 78 insignia. Of the. Ship. Should go for about that stuff. Thats how the colonel and i dont want to get me i mean are you going. To get any good to me light is the most essential element and theater and architecture Albert Einstein said light is the measure of all things and without life there is no space the a. Week at it the whole want to tar him becomes a stage. At the end. Show of course he creates works of art in which people mention talented people move and speak or same. Thing. Others fussed about Everything Else light sounds props stage set whether its painted on the floor on the ceiling or around about regardless. Should be they him everything is supposed to come together and support thats how he really has his. Own. Eak the east. The. The was the. The. Polls. The. Ive been working 50 years and the theatre ive never once ever in 50 years told someone what to think or have i put an interpretation on the work thats. Interpretations for the public maybe for philosophers who can think about things and im. Sure. To really turn your. Knowledge of what. I believe your favorite phrase. Behind stage is what you might call the laboratory where the singers and actors are dressed and made up to become the figures that Robert Wilson and his team have imagined. From the world when some actors are not able to attend all of the rehearsals theyre doubles and to appear in full costume. Miss for instance is lydia counting orders double. Was. Was. God gave. Us a form from ball points not since this is not a psychological nonnaturalistic. Instead it finds signs and abstract expression for particular experiences developments feelings installations and events so that so long as i never tries to depict a naturalistic or psychological image of a figure going on off that song the question is rather what strength did this person this historical figure her. Out of these a few what motivated him what emotions areas development. Of Human Society did he influence. And vic and i meant what influence did he have on the individual. I am for something change us but it was the moment no doubt. When luther refused to retract his the zs he was condemned by the pope and eventually patched i was here romes accusations and luthers defense of the council of alms are symbolized as a raw company over contradictory voices was here was was was certain it was her it was. God. That. Was. It 200 years later your hands a bastion box set the reformers texts to music. It was. It was. It it. Is global just it therefore i think the reformation plays a subordinate role. Main focus here is luther king fruit of hope to person of color but i think the religious aspects are well represented by the motet. Minus a card about missing a lot of christian texts spiritual works if theyre the focus is on religion or more than in the scenes which are interspersed me about a 100 i stand in the unseen and. The in. The. The singing and acting rehearsed again and again until they coalesce. The protestant corollas or supplemented by 20th century compositions steve reichs clapping music or instance. The singers on where their gloves at rehearsals. And. You know. Weve done a lot of up reproductions with choruses but i have to say its not the radio quiet stock in trade. This is an exception for them its not their 1st time that its not but they initially. Thats like the 1st appearance. Then of course all in black. It was on the soft him for the whole sicily the space is very interesting with a bond of course the figure of luther as well but the space is very interesting because it isnt a conventional theater but sailor this is not picture frame theater its a very special architect it was clear from the start that it would be staged here so the whole concept was developed with this in mind came from the basic idea is an empty theater that brought the greek element into the production so one thing led to another. Wilson and the choir chose this space deliberately for its unusual shape but also for its a purpose sticks. For the Pierre Boulez hall opened in the spring of 2017 designed by franco geary and built at the back of the daughter open one of her limbs 3 opera houses its the home turf of Daniel Barenboim saeed academy. The berlin radio choir is used to performing in unusual venues with interdisciplinary projects in new york tokyo and other cultural capitals its earned itself an International Reputation the singers are used to performing with large orchestras and famous conductors. Tying in a father only is sometimes its exhausting it demands incredible concentration and it is very new for us because we arent an opera chorus finish radio choir quite as that means our forte is concert performance competitions we normally stand behind the orchestra open our scores saying and thats it in that last one or get this performing especially with a director like bob wilson is an enormous challenge for all of us the. Sensitivity is required all around. The. Place biased us from the goal of one side guns can all bias busts them i know that Nuclear Plants are understands exactly what bob wilson wants she has a fantastic way of rehearsing with us because she radiates an incredible calm. Even when we have to repeat some movement 10 times because its for instance the lighting was incorrect and so we start to lose patience we get when she remains absolutely calm she talks to us very quietly and takes it through the movements who dont smoke might is a big and long i think she knows exactly what the result is supposed to be as they keep the signs all unsigned built. For the world. Tour. On Opening Night this scene is darker and more subdued than originally planned. In rehearsal it looked like this. The singers were using white balls and the car could have or was red. Overnight red and white became black. And 2 wooden slats that had previously been used disappeared. Ringback ringback for a minor in a mission to have always tried to achieve a good mix youre not supposed to hear individual voices but here were more in the realm of musical theater or you could even call it operate in which individuality is a bit more important. Sean and disinterested 6. Keisling artist took over as principal conductor and artistic director of the berlin radio choir in august 25th. Because this stage is circular is assisted by co conductor benjamin good to. See if indeed a foreshadowing finish their interest and this is thats what i find so interesting about this production is that wilson has made a very personal selection of texts by law and images from a contemporary paintings. For a. Title fight commission committed and so i see it as an amputation to read and understand more about the period from me that side. Are our own. I. Think. When wilson quotes from the book of revelations he transports us into the apocalyptic visions of the 1st christian century. Rare a. Very. Good boy good for me. Hes been really good. Im not religious so luther doesnt mean anything to me in that context by means a lot to me as the man to whom its together with others we of the modern german language and. I think it good for down also the poetry z. We had the mystique of german for them we have a beautiful language. Surprisingly all. That is heated ringback yet. There never was a one for. Me. Yes that. Was the. Wilsons strict choreography even in case of the innocent child it is reminiscent of the strict choreography about that regime. This is not a church. Or concert hall. And maybe what i have is. The spiritual feeling maybe the light has and uses something this spiritual but. I hope its not a religious service religion has no place in the theatre. A key scene is luthers death. Will seem clearly defines the arrangement of the death bed. In particular the arrangement of the blanket and the precisely determined folding of the sheet have to be practiced by the assistants so that it looks exactly the same at each performance. We know were going to hear. It ever hit the a bit was that it was. A huge knock in so all right and i am very fond of him because he is such a loving welcome he is but hes not sloppy he is absolutely precise i think precision and not arbitrary ness is an aspect of every form of hot and believe that. She learned. Evolution. Just. Leave that one performed this death scene takes 12 minutes. It begins with a quotation from luther about children and their innocence joy and parity is. To. Eat. Dog eat the. The end to the a day was. Martin luther for me is a point in time and you have different points and different eras and which change happens and. So i see it was something more abstractly as its a point in time where things changed there is nothing i knew. The stylized housewife in the final scene seems to point to luther as wife katarina. You. Told it a week. Was a week. Oh. Hes fine isnt a lot such a fair season i guess now that i was. Shuffling this in asking for it as i hadnt the feeling that its a typically american characteristic she said adding a bit of razzmatazz line or. I think wilson wanted to slip in a bit of that style and he pulled it off. Thankfully that is something. Well some production even the curtain goes car around. These are the last of their kind. Of whole species on the brink of extinction. Garden gnomes are dying out. Their natural habitat is under threat. And they have very few safe even flow. Is it already too late for the garden gnomes. New romance. Next on d w. Explored beautiful landscape and industrial character. Got a lot of vacation destination but still an insider to. This part of this future and i think that the small solace has Great Potential for. A small state that has all lot to offer. Chickens. In 60 minutes on d w. Like. Oh.
