week. heaven can't exist without belt the state had 2 worlds that's what was coming. the come. the berlin radio choir and cooperation with the american theater director and visual artist robert wilson brings luther and behind to the stage. the loser dancing with the gods is a production based on martin luther's writings and his biblical translation. who fought us long. time. i. was thinking.

this would. have our own fans are global you know was always plagued by incredible anxiety from the time when he 1st believed that so 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 its own for paul and i think that's a very contemporary issue many people are searching today for somebody else something they can still trust on a wall before ptolemy. robert wilson trusts his images. their trusted language and translated the bible from greek into

childhood. production plays with luther's language his translations and writings. some of the tax sorry cited in the original greek by the actress lydia corneal do who is crying please the greek culture minister. says. that the entire creative team is international. it's been out since as long a by from as i've been involved in developing the project from the start and that's 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 bob had and what the ideas inspiring him. that's why. 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 it's an enormous jigsaw puzzle that robert wilson is constructing. in 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 former content. a crucial element is the lighting. 78 insignia. of the. ship. should go for about that's done. it's time to turn it over and i don't want to go looking for

me or you don't think i'm very good to me light is the most essential element and theater in architecture albert einstein said light is the measure of all things. and without life there is no space. was whole auditorium becomes a stage. show of its current he creates one savant in which people mention talents and people move and speak or saying well and placing orders in. this must let everything else light sounds props stage set whether it's painted on the floor or on the ceiling around about ray conflicts. should be the way him everything is supposed to come together and support that so he really has his says

. eat and eat the the ego. the was. told. her. old. edit edit. i've been working 50 years and the theatre i've never once ever in 50 years told someone what to think or have i put an interpretation on the work that's . interpretations for the public maybe for philosophers who can think about things

and i'm. sure. to really turn your. knowledge of what. i believe your back leave. behind stages 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

they're doubles and to appear in full costume. miss for instance is lydia carney orders double. was. was. was i gave. that the thought of forming from ballpoints not since there is not a psychological non-naturalistic. instead it finds signs and abstract expression for particular experiences developments feelings installations and events and so that so on it never tries to depict a naturalistic or psychological image of the figure was 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 and what emotions areas develop. of human society did he

influence. and vic and i meant all what influence did he have on the individual. i am for something change us but it was the one time. when luther refused to retract his the zs he was condemned by the pope and eventually patched i found here rome's accusations and luther's defense at the council of alms are symbolized as a rock company over contradictory voices i was here i was god was sir was her was. god i. was there she was.

it 200 years later your hands are bastian box set the reformers texts to music. was. was. just it there for good i think the reformation plays are subordinate role. of main focus here is luther king fruit of hope the 1st of 2 but i think the religious aspects are well represented by the mo tents. minus the cardboard missing a lot of christian texts spiritual what specific there 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 it was.

the singing and acting are rehearsed again and again until they coalesce. the protestant corollas or supplemented by 20th century compositions steve reich's clapping music for instance. the singers or their clubs at rehearsals. and.

we've done a lot of up reproductions with choruses but i have to say it's not the radio quiet stock in trade. this is an exception for them it's not their 1st time that it's not but they usually. that's 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 for the bond of course the figure of luther as well but the space is very interesting because it isn't a conventional theory says that sailor this is not a picture frame theory it's 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 perp accused ex. the pierre boulez opened in the spring of 2017 designed by franco garry and built at the back of the daughter open one of her limbs 3 opera

houses it's 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 it's earned itself an international reputation the singers are used to performing with large orchestras and famous conductors. tyros einstein and father only are sometimes it's exhausting it demands incredible concentration and it is very new for us because we aren't an opera chorus finish radio choir quite as that means our forte is concert performance competence we normally stand behind the orchestra open our scores saying and that's 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. 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 it's for instance the lighting was incorrect and so we start to lose patience when she remains absolutely calm she talks to us very quietly and takes as through the movements who don't 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.

world. tour the 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 ringback ringback

in a mission to always try to achieve a good mix you're not supposed to hear individual voices but here we're more in the realm of musical theater or you could even call it opera in which individuality is a bit more important in. sean and disinterested. heisler nars took over as principal conductor and artistic director of the berlin radio choir in august 2015. because this stage is circular is assistant banco conductor benjamin could see. ringback a set in these are for sharing from each their interest and this is that's what i find so interesting about this production is that wilson has made

a very personal selection of texts by law and of images from a contemporary paintings. for a. title fight commission committed and so i see it as an invitation to read and understand more about the period from the right side. r r. r r r. brian wilson quotes from the book of revelations he transports us into the apocalyptic visions of the 1st christian century. rare but there. are some good.

does a good boy good for me. and me to really get. i'm not religious so luther doesn't 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. when the hood think it good for them also the poetry z we have the mystique of german for them we have a beautiful language. streisand was. was often. let us never get. to know it is

a long form was. that. the cause wilson strict choreography even in case of the innocent child is reminiscent of the strict choreography about that regime. that it. is not a church. or concert hall. and maybe what i have is. a spiritual feeling maybe the light has induces something the spiritual but. i hope it's not a religious service religion has no place in the theatre. a

key scene is luther's death. will soon 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. so we know we're going to be very close they are. getting hit the exit. that it was.

a huge knock in so all right and i am very fond of him because he is such a loving well he is but he's not sloppy he is absolutely precise i think precision and not arbitrary ness is an aspect of every form of hot and nice to believe that he she likes. evolution. chris. leave it when performed this death scene takes 12 minutes. it begins with a quotation from luther about children and their innocence joy and parity says. i.

am the eat dog eat the. the air to the a he was. told. 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 it's the it's a point in time where things changed there is why

i am. the stylized housewife in the final scene seems to point to luther as wife katarina. you. got it. was that a week. streisand bought the stock. fire season i guess that was. we have 2 missing that's good food as i think the feeling that it's a typically american character steak she's having a bit of razzmatazz or. i think wilson wanted to

slip in a bit of that style and he pulled it off. thank . you that is simply for the robert wilson production even the kirk and his current.
