Ausverkauft | Bérénice | Ruhrtriennale 2024
In the organizer's words:
Monumental heroine and iconic actress: a monologue
Freely inspired by Racine's Bérénice, Romeo Castellucci brings an adaptation of this classic tragedy to the stage in the form of a monologue by international acting icon Isabelle Huppert. Two lovers must part for the sake of the state. The Roman emperor Titus falls in love with the Jewish queen Bérénice and discovers that she also loves him. However, the laws of Rome forbid him to marry her. Here, love is the theater of cruelty. Bérénice is probably the most disturbing tragedy ever created. And yet it has moved us to tears for centuries, as if we could see ourselves in it. Huppert's voice is the source of almost all the sounds, noises and silences in this performance, which has been adapted by sound artist Scott Gibbons. A majestic return to the Ruhrtriennale by Romeo Castellucci.
