| Description | The hit of the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival, Eraritjaritjaka is an enigmatic and magical piece of European theatre from one of Germany's leading directors, Heiner Goebbels. In an exquisite exploration of identity and self, artificiality and reality, Goebbels laters words, images, and music to manipulate the audience's experience of time and space. This is heightened by the use of real-time video and the onstage performance of the superb Mondriaan Quartet, playing a score that encompasses the work of composers from Bach to Goebbels himself. Working with a text assembled from fragments of writing by Nobel Prize-winning author and critic Elias Canetti, French actor André Wilms sets out on an intriguing journey that will leave audiences stunned. Goebbels' previous works, including Hashirigaki, Black on White, and Max Black, have toured extensively to universal acclaim, and Eraritjaritjaka inspired a reviewer at The Scotsman to declare that performance of Goebbels' work "should be mandatory every festival." This is your opportunity to experience a truly absorbing piece of theatre that defies definition. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
