in the height of climate change. africa is missing to. see what's in store for. smugglers to have for their future. comes through to make a city to get insight sinter. oh at least bit. close. they are. coming can't exist without help it's not 2 worlds it's one

come. come. come. the berlin radio choir and cooperation with the american theater director in visual artist robert wilson brings luther and bach to the stage. luther dancing with the gods is a production based on martin luther his writings and his biblical translation. buddhists. i don't. think you could of fish. dishes comes a distant. thank you mom and fans are global

you know was always plagued by incredible anxiety from the time when he 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. i think that's a very contemporary issue many people are searching today for somebody something they can still trust on a wall before. wilson cross says images. of their crossed in language and translated the bible from greek into translate. the production plays with luther's language is translations and writings . some of the tax sorry cited in the original greek by the actress

corny on to who is currently the greek culture minister. that entire creative team is international. it's been noted long now by for me as i've been involved in developing the project from the start that's why they called us selves the creative team because we work together and each person contributes ideas which have been developed by it all of course subordinate to the basic idea that bob had and what the idea is inspiring him. 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 the the. stuff that rests. on the floor. basically

it's an enormous jigsaw puzzle that robert wilson is 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 former content. a crucial element is the lighting. $78.70. shifter. should go for about that's done. it's time to turn it over and i don't want to go looking for you you know it was 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 there's no space a guy. was the water tower him becomes a stage. show of queens he creates walks avant in which people mention talented people move and speak or sing well and placing orders in. this fuss but everything else light sounds props stage set whether it's painted on the floor on the ceiling or round about regardless. should be they him everything is supposed to come together and support it that's how he really has his . own. eat and eat.

the. old. adage the. 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 from philosophers who can think about things and i'm. sure.

to really turn a deaf ear. to what. i'm hearing. behind stages what you might call the laboratory where the singers and actors are dressed and painted up to become the figures that robert wilson and his team have imagined. even. a year from the world when some actors are not able to attend all of the rehearsals they're doubles and to appear in full costume.

this for instance is lydia counting orders double. was was. my favorite sats form from ballpoints not well since there is not a psychological non-naturalistic. 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 fake i can only offer 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 think long and i meant all what influence did he have on the individual. i am for something change us but it was the moment

that. when luther refused to retract his theses he was condemned by the pope and eventually bashed was here rome's accusations and luther's defense at the council of alms are symbolized as a raw company over contradictory voices was here was. was was serious it was the robert was. god. that. was. it 200 years later your hands a bastion box set the reformers texts to music. was.

was. it it. is global just it therefore i think the reformation plays a subordinate role or main focus here is luther king fruit of hope you have to but i think the religious aspect so well represented by the motet. minus that. missing a lot of christian texts spiritual was there the focus is on religion or more than in the scenes which are interspersed me about a 100 i stand in unseen and. it was you. who.

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

we've done a lot about productions with choruses but i have to say it's not the radio quiet stock in trade. me this is an exception for them it's not their 1st time that it's not but they usually. go round. 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 with

a bond of course the figure of luther as well but the space is very interesting because it isn't a conventional theater but this is not a picture frame theatre 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 purpose ticks. the p.r. bonus hall opened in the spring of 2017 designed by franco garry and built at the back of the don't you open want to berlin 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. time as einstein and a father told us 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 record us that means our forte is concert performance competitions 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. sensitivity is required all around.

the. place biased us from the goal of one side guns can all bias bus world somewhere hidden i know that nuclear plants are understands exactly what bob wilson wants she has a fantastic way of rehearsing with us all 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 started losing patience we could when she remains absolutely calm she talks to us very quietly and takes us 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 of the signs all on sign built. the world.

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 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 operate in which individuality is a bit more important in. sean and disinterested. heisley non-stock over his principal conductor and artistic director of the berlin radio choir in august 2015. because this stage is circular he's assisted banco conductor benjamin could see. ringback ringback as yet in these a foreshadowing finish their interest and this is does what i find so interesting about this production is that wesson has made a very personal selection of texts by law and of images from a contemporary paintings. for

a. commission to get made and so i see that it has allowed attention to read and understand more about the period from the red side. r r. r r r. one wilson quotes from the book of revelations he transports us into the apocalyptic visions of the 1st christian century. very. very. good. does it spread joy good for me. it's been really good scuba and

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 and. the hood think at the foot down also the poetry z. we have the mystique of german for them we have a beautiful language. shrine and was. just awful. bessie ringback never get. there never is a long for. me.

one was moving. p.s. that. the feel wilson strict choreography even in case of the innocent child is reminiscent of the strict choreography about the dredging. the. this is not a church. or concert hall. and maybe what i have is. a spiritual feeling maybe of the light. and who says 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.

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 we're going to be very clear. that it hit the edit. 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 he's not sloppy he is absolutely precise

i think precision and not arbitrary ness is an aspect of every form of hot and believe that. kids like. you should. just. leave right when performed this death scene takes 12 minutes. it begins with a quotation from luther about children their innocence joy and purity. i. was.

the editor to. be a bit 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 him with something more abstractly as it's a point in time where things changed 35 i am. the stylized housewife and the final scene seems to point to luther as wife katarina.

dating. for the today the eat was a bit. the streisand want such a very leisurely guest let's start with. the missing that's good food as i get the feeling that it's a typically american characteristic she's adding a bit of razzmatazz or. i think wilson wanted to slip in a bit of that style and he pulled it off. thank
