DRAMA

In the organizer's words:

In DRAMA, a group tirelessly explores the possibilities and limits of the stage space in our current post-pandemic era, where user:ins have become the content of social media. On a real theater stage, it still seems that what works most safely is what the audience already knows. Shakespeare? Sophocles? Again? With suits? The performers:inside question and examine different genres, which they fuse into a recreation of the theatrical genre "La Revista Argentina": a mixture of cabaret and revue with French glamour, catchy Spanish-language music, the humor of Italian immigrants, lots of feathers, big musical numbers and famous comedians. "La Revista Argentina" was created in the time of the Weimar Republic, at the same time Buster Keaton presented The Enchanted House, where criminals and bad actors from a mediocre fist meet by chance. The characters in DRAMA oscillate between an anthropological need to dismember pop culture, to find the tension between a high and low art and the colored endurance of the glamour dancers:inside the Argentine revue of the 20s. Despite the genre being considered populist and superficial, they act with Spartan endurance and without flinching in pain. The atmosphere gains another dimension with the music of Robert Lippok, juxtaposed with the musical references of pop songs, and the performer:s compete with the exhausted attention span of an audience in the era of clickbait. How can one compete with the constant spectacle that politics and news, fake or real, provide? Drama is no longer just in the theater, it's everywhere. Joseph Campbell's reparation with the father is the root and repetition of endless heroic stories of a patriarchal nature, but are these heroic journeys even a reflection of the male director with a father complex?
