Ophelia-s

| |

What if Ophelia weren’t dead? Four women inhabited by a common strength, strange creatures with glistening hair, perambulate in the reflections of water on stage as well as on screen. Those muddled swells double their bodies, free them from gravity and exert over them a destructive attraction… Based on the Shakespearian figure of Ophelia, dead by drowning, Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté’s new creation seizes the audience members. Everything there is unwonted, captivating, and resolutely black. The couple of artists likes inventing unseen worlds where the audience lets itself slide willingly into deep water.

Baby

Without concession nor modesty, William Cardoso’s work deals with the desire to live. Committed to LGBTQIA+ issues, the young Luxemburgish choreographer scrutinizes the vertigo that grips us, when society’s expectations oppress the most deeply buried part of ourselves. On stage, two dancers manifest a very personal physical and dynamic commitment. The stake is to maintain a balance or to find one. Out of this fault line, those two dancing bodies build a line of defense for themselves, to claim even more the need to walk freely.

 

Union Place

Sorry, there’s no English version of this text.

Folgenreiche Begegnungen, aufgefächert und verknüpft in drei Geschichten: In Union Place treffen sich Verwandte und Suchende, Menschen aus West und Ost. Am Wiener Flughafen begegnen sich Sophie und Darius; aus dem Flirt wird eine intime Affäre. Doch Sophie trägt schwer an einem Geheimnis, das aufgrund des Kriegs Russlands gegen die Ukraine droht gelüftet zu werden. In Luxemburg warten der wohlhabende Deutsche Walter und seine Frau Daniela, eine rumänisch-stämmige Sängerin, auf Danielas Sohn, der seine Mutter lange nicht gesehen hat. Doch was sind die wahren Absichten hinter seinem Besuch im Großherzogtum? In Rumänien treffen sich Mariana und Rudolf nach Jahrzehnten wieder. Einst waren sie ein Paar. Doch als er vor der Revolution 1989 in den Westen floh, blieb sie vor Ort. Was ist in jener schicksalhaften Nacht passiert?
Was verbindet, was trennt Menschen jenseits von Landesgrenzen? Danach fragt die rumänische Dramatikerin Elise Wilk in diesem Auftragsstück. Der rumänische Regisseur Alexandru Weinberger-Bara geht diesen Fragen mit einem Ensemble aus Rumänien, Luxemburg und Österreich nach.

Die Künstler:innen bieten Ihnen am Freitag um 19:30 Uhr eine Einführung zum Stück an.
