Balthazar by Maximilian Haas
Posted: June 3rd, 2012 | Author: admin | Filed under: Animals, General, Was der Körper alles kann | No Comments »“BALTHAZAR is a performance for an animal and human performers. The piece was inspired by the film “Au Hazard Balthazar” (1966) by Robert Bresson, which tells the biography of a donkey. This artistic choice is now being placed within the context of a performance. The donkey – Balthazar – forms the cloudy center of the action. The animal is the protagonist of the piece, while the nameless human performers come and go.
By developing and modifying performative constellations between a donkey and human performers on stage, BALTHAZAR unfolds a series of theatrical experiments. By giving various cultural takes on animals and the otherness of nature, the strategies and capacities of theatre are pushed to their boundaries. The spectator witnesses a naturalistic experimental play, that offers a direct and complex experience with an animal.”
