Endgame [Performance] Douban
Endgame
genre: theater playwright: Samuel Beckett
other title: 终局 director: Robert Wilson / Richard Jones actor: Martin Schneider / Georgios Tsivanoglou / Traute Hoess / ürgen Holtz / Alan Cumming
Like in most of Samuel Beckett’s texts, Endgame deals with characters outside of society, waiting and looking in vain for something unknown in a nondescript, apocalyptical place. Its characters are bound towards each other by an invisible chain of co-dependency that knows no way out. Contrary to this bleak topic, it is a strikingly funny play with a number of comic elements, physical and verbal. Endgame was Robert Wilson's 10th production at the Berliner Ensemble since 1998.
“This poignancy and consequence. This concentration. This severity. This humor. ... No sentimentality, but the echo of a world in turmoil.”
— Der Tagesspiegel (Rüdiger Schaper), Dec. 4, 2016

Hamm kann nicht stehen, Clov kann nicht sitzen, Hamm ist der Herr, Clov der Diener, beide sind zum Überleben aufeinander angewiesen. In zwei Mülleimern Nagg und Nell, Hamms Eltern, die „verfluchten Erzeuger“, auch sie können nicht fort. Gemeinsam spielen sie ein nie endendes „Endspiel“ gegen die Hoffnungslosigkeit, trotzen der untergehenden Welt mit unerbittlicher Ironie und heiterer Verzweiflung, denn: „Nichts ist komischer als das Unglück.“ Robert Wilson verwandelt mit Becketts ENDSPIEL erneut einen der Klassiker der Weltliteratur in sein Zaubertheater für alle Sinne. Der amerikanische Regisseur, Bühnenbildner, Architekt, Künstler..., der selbst seit 2009 als „Krapp“in Becketts LETZTEMBANDauf der Bühne steht, und dessen Inszenierungen auf der ganzen Welt zu sehen sind, hat im BERLINERENSEMBLEseit Jahren eine künstlerische Heimat gefunden. 1998 inszeniert Wilson zum ersten Mal am BE(Brechts OZEANFLUG), und Stücke wie LEONCEUNDLENA, DIEDREIGROSCHENOPER,SHAKESPEARESSONETTE, PETERPANund zuletzt FAUSTI UNDII prägen den Spielplan des Theaters mit seiner unvergleichlichen künstlerischen Handschrift.

The Real Cabaret (2009) [Movie] Douban
director: Richard Bright actor: Alan Cumming
Few musicals can claim to capture the mood of a historical period as well as the 1972 classic Cabaret.
Liza Minnelli's unforgettable portrayal of singer Sally Bowles and the film's stylish recreation of the era have become defining images of Weimar Berlin.
In this documentary, actor Alan Cumming explores the truths behind the fiction. He meets many of those closely involved with the original film, including Liza Minnelli, and talks to cabaret artists, among them acclaimed performer Ute Lemper.
Alan explores the origins of the Cabaret story in the writings of Christopher Isherwood and uncovers the story of the real life Sally Bowles, a woman very different from her fictional counterpart.
He talks to the composer of Cabaret about the inspiration for the film's most famous songs and discovers the stories of the original composers and performers, among them Marlene Dietrich. Finally, Alan reveals the tragic fate of many of the cabaret artists at the hands of the Nazis.
The documentary pays tribute to the magic of the original film and explores the fascinating and often shocking reality of the people and stories that inspired it.
