eat eat eat eat eat eat eat was 4. i was. a week was. can. eat eat the. coming can't exist without felt just $12.00 worlds it's one was come. the berlin radio choir come operation with the american theater director and visual artist robert wilson brings luther and bach to the stage.

the. 3rd dancing with the gods is a production based on martin luther his writings and his biblical translation. buddhists. hi how are you found if you. has its kinds of missions. and friends are gone side for you that was always plagued by incredible anxiety from the time when he 1st believed them and all that so that makes it so relevant for us hi i'm 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 that faith and trust in jesus christ and the word

of god. so you would help him find something to rely on as i wrote it was so fitting of a song for paul i think that's a very contemporary issue many people are searching today for somebody something they can still trust on a wall before ptolemy. robert wilson he trusts his images. with their trust and language and translated the bible from greek into german. production plays with luther's language his translations and writings. some of the text sorry cited in the original greek by the actress lydia corny onto who is currently the greek culture minister. says. that the entire creative team is international. it's been a long a buy for me as i've been involved in developing the project from the start that's why they called us else 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 along with so i 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 to eat the. stuff to read. on the floor here or there. or basically it's 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. for the time the colonel and i don't want to give the military a you've got one great if you go 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 a edit edit. edit the whole want to dorian becomes a stage. shot of it couldn't he creates works of art in which people talented people move and speak

or sing well and it was in. all this fuss about everything else light sounds props stage set whether it's painted on the floor or on the ceiling or around about ray countless things should be they him everything is supposed to come together and support that so he really has his. own. eat and eat the ear. the the the. pole. 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 for philosophers who can think about things and i'm. sure. to really turn your. knowledge of what. i believe you're feeling.

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 they're doubles and to appear in full costume. miss for instance is lydia conny orders double. was. was. was they gave. us the other form 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 so that so long as i never tries to depict a naturalistic or psychological image of the figure was going on off 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 long and i meant all what influence did he have on the individual. i am for something change us but it was known that. when luther refused to retract his theses he was condemned by the pope and eventually bashed i was here rome's accusations and luther's defense at the council of alms are symbolized as a raw company over contradictory voices i

was yes i was was was. was they were was that was. out. this was that. was. it 200 years later your hands are bastian box set the reformers texts to music. the. it. was. just it there for good i think the reformation plays a subordinate role. of main focus here is luther. hope you have to but i think the

religious aspects are well represented by the mo tents. minus the cardboard missing a lot of christian texts spiritual works there the focus is on religion or more than in the scenes which are interspersed me about a 100 outstanding then seen in the discussion. to it. 'd the singing and acting 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 on where their gloves at rehearsals. and. you know. we've done a lot about productions 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. said. 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 pond of course the figure of luther as well but the space is very interesting because it isn't a conventional theater but still this is not the picture frame theater and it's a very special if you take. 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 sticks. 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 one 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. tying in a father only sometimes it's exhausting it demands incredible concentration and it

is very new for us because we aren't an opera chorus finish row 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 for me 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 from the goal of hunter guns canal bias bus to them i know that nuclear plants are understands exactly what bob wilson wants she has a fantastic way of rehearsing with asking the question 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 we get when she remains absolutely calm she talks to his very quietly and takes his 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. 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. for a minute and as they are shown 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 operative in which individuality is a bit more important in. sean and disinterested. heisley nars 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 could see. ringback ringback as yet indeed a foreshadowing for mitch 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 and. for a. title fight condition of committing one so i see it as an invitation to read and understand more about the period from the right side. 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. rare but very. good. he. does a good boy good for me. he's been really good skin blood and i'm not religious so luther doesn't mean anything to me and 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 for down also the poetry z. we have the mystique of german for them we have

a beautiful language. streisand was. first. let us say never again. they never say one form was. nice. enough yet. one was a little. p.s. that. the field will soon strict choreography even in case of the innocent child it is reminiscent of the strict choreography about the drudgery. of it.

this is not a church. or concert hall. and maybe what i have is. a spiritual feeling maybe the light has and uses 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 sheet have to be practiced by the assistants so that it looks exactly the same at each performance. we know we're going we're.

getting hit the a bit was it 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 he could. cheat like. evolution. christian. right 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. sad it was. the editing. a bit.

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 abstract. as it's a point in time where things have changed certain like i do from my 1st. stylized housewife and the final scene seems to point to luther as wife katarina. to eat was a ticket eat was a ticket.

the streisand want the sun. very leisurely guest let's start with. the capsule 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 bob wilson wanted to slip in a bit of that style and he pulled it off. thank you leave that to some. wilson production even the curtain was carved.

more. ceiling lights that can send an email call floor lamp that can stream a fellow. from a wireless network that uses light. sounds like science fiction right to. life by the internet lamplight.
