Theater Basel präsentiert Romeo Castelluccis
by Tyler Peterson
- Apr 23, 2015
Zum Abschluss der Spielzeit 2014/15 und wahrend der Art Basel prasentiert das Theater Basel ab 16. Juni 2015 in Halle 3 der Messe Basel eine Intervention des international bekannten Kunstlers Romeo Castellucci. «The Parthenon Metopes» ist ein raffiniertes Spiel um Kunst und Realitat, das die grossen Menschheitsfragen stellt: Woher kommen wir, wohin gehen wir? Und welche Macht bestimmt uber unser Leben? Wieder einmal erweist sich als wahr, was Kleists Alraune in der «Hermannsschlacht» dem romischen Feldherrn Varus, der mit seinem Heer im Sumpf des Teutoburger Walds feststeckt, auf seine Frage, wo er sich befinde, antwortet: 'Hart zwischen Nichts und Nichts!' Das Ratsel des Lebens ist nicht zu losen.
