Robert Wilson — 1 Have You been here before 2 No this is the first time
Moving Audience, Festspielhaus Hellerau, Dresden#Study
MOVING AUDIENCE
Lecture Performance by one of the most important theater and visual artists in the world presented as a part of Reconstructing the Future festival at Festspielhaus Hellerau in Dresden. Appia's works have strongly influenced Wilson's staging and lighting concept. In an exceptional performance of almost three hours, he invites his astonishing aesthetic universe. Wilson, by combining hundreds of images of his creative career, creates an intimate self-portrait of his creative process.
Moving Audience Archa–Hellerau
Reconstruction of the Future
Space – Light – Movement – Utopia
In 1911 in the Dresden suburb of Hellerau, theatre reformer Adolphe Appia, the creator of rhythmic gymnastics (eurhytmics) Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, architect Heinrich Tessenow and artist Alexander von Salzmann met. This meeting was the beginning of the great transformation of European theatre. A hundred and six years later, the artistic leadership of the Hellerau European Centre for the Arts decided to reconstruct Appia's and von Salzmann's original plans and invited major world choreographers, directors and artists to explore the possibilities of using this revolutionary historical stage design today. They named the project Reconstruction of the Future (Space – Light – Movement – Utopia). From 17 October to 11 November, artists such as Robert Wilson, Richard Siegal, Jan Martens and Luis Camnitzer will focus on Appia's vision and its significance for the present day.
As part of the "Moving Audience" project, which allows Archa audiences to attend Hellerau performances for the fifth year and for Dresden audiences to see shows at Archa, we are organizing a trip to attend two great events at this festival.
On 17 October we will together attend a lecture by one of the world's most prominent theatre and visual artists Robert Wilson singularly entitled 1. Have you been here? 2. No, now for the first time. Over the course of three hours, Wilson will guide us through his artistic universe, which has been strongly influenced by Appia's notions of theatre.
On 29 October we will be able to see the performance The Clouds created by dancers Jone San Martin and Amanico Gonzales together with David Kern, who will perform online. It is a retrospective production that analyzes William Forsythe's famous "Clouds after Cranach" choreography, which is sometimes characterized as a Guernica dance, and the dancers directly analyze their choices in selecting various Forsythe works.
The Moving Audience project is supported by the Czech-German Future Fund.
