Brick Theater and Buran Theatre Present THE HOUSE OF FITZCARRALDO, 3/7-18
In 1979 director Werner Herzog and his megalomaniac best fiend, Klaus Kinski, pulled a 300-ton steamship over a mountain under its own steam. In this theatrical performance work, the performers, taking on the role of the Collective Ego of Herzog & Kinski, ponder the significance of dreams and the insanity one must invest in pursuing the useless conquest of unconscious wishes. Pulling and culling from a myriad of source texts, videos, and dreams, Buran uses its distinctive style to situate itself between high and low culture - creating mayhem, shooting cap guns, prompting sing-a-longs, and integrating a folksy existentialism to explore our nature as beings who cannot help but desire our own dumb dreams.
Brick Theater and Buran Theatre Present THE HOUSE OF FITZCARRALDO, directed by Nikolas Weir, with scenic & lighting design by Nick Kostner, music by Christopher Luxem & Casey Mraz, and lyrics by Henry Bial & Adam R. Burnett.
