The come come. As. The berlin radio choir in cooperation with the American Theater director in visual artist Robert Wilson brings luther and behind to the stage. Luther dancing with the gods is a production based on Martin Luthers writings and his biblical translation. Goodness. I dont. Think you should face it. Has its own citizens. We have our own fans our global side for you that was always plagued by incredible anxiety from the time when we 1st believed. That makes it so relevant for us. Because we also live in a period when everybody is plagued by anxiety and feels threatened he created a new idea in which he believed that faith and trust in jesus christ and the word of god would help him find something to rely on it was a figment of us and for paul and i think thats a very contemporary issue many people are searching today for somebody or something they can still trust and want to come on the wall before. Robert wilson crosses his images. If theyre crusted language and translated the bible from greek and to challenge. The production plays with luthers language his translations and writings. Some of the tax sorry cited in the original greek by the actress Lydia Cornell to who is currently the Greek Culture minister. Their entire Creative Team is international. Its been noted by for me as ive been involved in developing the project from the start thats why they called us selves 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 bob had and what the idea is inspiring him. Thats why it fired. 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 the the. Stuff. On the floor. Basically its an enormous jigsaw puzzle that Robert Wilson is constructing. And all my works i diagrammed 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 on the kernel and i dont want to go looking for me or you dont think im very 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 theres no space a guy. Was born a dorian becomes a stage. Show of its queens he creates one savant in which people mention talents and people move and speak or sing well and placing orders in. This must but Everything Else light sounds props stage set whether its painted on the floor or on the ceiling around about regardless. Should be that they him everything is supposed to come together and support that so he really has his. Own. The eat and eat. The meat. The the the. Old. Adage 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 time. Again. See if you can see. The religious turn to. Nothing but. I believe your. Brother will. Behind stages what you might call the laboratory where the singers and actors are dressed and beat up to become the figures that Robert Wilson and his team have imagined. Something good for the world to the point some actors are not able to attend all of the rehearsals theyre doubles and to appear in full costume. Miss for instance is lydia carney orders double. Was. Was. Was was. That was so out of. Since there is not the psychological nonnaturalistic but instead it finds signs and abstract expression for particular experiences developments feelings installations and events so that so on it never tries to depict a naturalistic or psychological image of the figure going on markets are in the question is rather what strength did this person this historical figure have. These of what motivated him what emotions areas developments of Human Society did he influence. And vic long and i meant what influence did he have on the individual. I am for something change. Of the my evil man no doubt. When luther refused to retract his theses he was condemned by the pope and eventually branched. Out here romes accusations and luthers defense at the council of alms are symbolized as a rock company of contradictory voices. I. Was. Was. Was. Was was. Her. Was that god. Was. In your life that. Was. It 200 years later your hands a bastion box set the reformers tech. To music. That. I think the reformation plays are subordinate row. Of main focus here is luther. Hope but i think the religious aspect so well represented by the motet its. Missing a lot of christian texts spiritual west that the focus is on religion or more than in the scenes which interest me about a 100 i stand in the unseen and thats pushing it off. Yeah. You. The singing and acting are 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 are at rehearsals. So this is. One of. The 3. Romesha. Weve done a lot about productions 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 for it its not what they usually do. So go round once thats like the 1st appearance. Then of course all in black. Who was on the stuff in for the whole sicily the space is very interesting bond of course the figure of luther is this well at this space is very interesting because it isnt a conventional theory. But this is not a picture frame theory 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 because. Wilson and the choir chose this space deliberately for its unusual shape but also for its a purpose ticks. The p. R. Bonus opened in the spring of 2017 designed by franco geary and built at the back of the dont you open one of their limbs 3 opera houses its the home turf of daniel barenboims 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 sometimes its exhausting it demands incredible concentration and it is very new for us because we arent an opera chorus finish radio choir record us that means our forte is concert performance competitions we normally stand behind the orchestra open our scores sing and thats it in this last one gets to this performing especially with a director like bob wilson is an enormous challenge for all of us the. Sensitivity is required all around. The. Base biased us conical of hands like guns canal bias bus in washington i know that Nuclear Plants are understands exactly what bob wilson wants she has a fantastic way of rehearsing with us all the caution radiates an incredible calm even when we have to repeat some movement 10 times because for instance the lighting was incorrect and so we started losing patience when she remains absolutely calm she talks to his very quietly and takes us 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. All over the world. Her. 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 jordan slats that had previously been used disappeared. Ringback for a minute and as they are shown a mission to always try 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 opera in which individuality is a bit more important. Sean and disinterested. 6 heisley nars took over as principal conductor and artistic director of the berlin radio choir in august 2015. Because the stage is circular hes assistant branco conductor benjamin. Ringback ringback i see it in these are for sharing from each their interest and this is what i find so interesting about this production is that wilson has made a very personal selection of text by law and of images from a contemporary paintings. For a. Title fight Commission Commitment and so i see it as an invitation to read and understand more about the period when you got tired. R r. R r r. When wilson quotes from the book of revelations he transports us into the apocalyptic visions of the 1st christian century. Yes. Very. Good. He. Does it good boy good for me. Hes been really good this can boo and im not religious so luther doesnt mean anything to me in that context but he means a lot to me as the man to whom together with others we of the modern german language and. When i think it good. Also the poetry z we have the mystique of german for them we have a beautiful language in this. Streisand was. Often. Let us ringback never get. The notice they are there for. Him. Wasnt all. That. The feeling will soon strict choreography even in case of the innocent child it is reminiscent of the strict choreography of that regime. This is not a church and a 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. Wilson clearly defines the arrangement of the death bed. In particular the arrangement of the blanket and the precisely determined folding of the sheep have to be practiced by the assistants so that it looks exactly the same at each performance. So we know were going to be very clear. To to the a bit. That it was. A huge mark in so all. Right and i am very fond of him because he has such a loving walk on me but hes not sloppy he is absolutely precise i think precision and not arbitrary ness is an aspect of every form of ott one needs to believe that. Evolution. Says. Leave that when performed this death scene takes 12 minutes. It begins with a quotation from luther about children and their innocence joy and purity. I. Am. The way it was. The editor to. Be a good. 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 him as something more abstractly as its a point in time where things changed their lives i mean if i was. The stylized housewife in the final scene seems to point to luther as wife katarina. To eat. Was a ticket eat was a a hit. The. Streisand want the sun. Fairies or yes lets start. This enough good food as i get the feeling that its a typically american characteristic is adding a bit of razzmatazz or. I think wilson wanted to slip in a bit of that style and he pulled it off. Live that was simply. Going to Robert Wilson production even the curtain this current. Nothing. More. 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 haven floods. Is it already too late for the garden gnomes. The romance. In 30 minutes on d w.
