SPLEEN Charles Baudelaire: Poems in Prose

SPLEEN
Charles Baudelaire:
Poems in Prose

Figurentheater Wilde & Vogel

directed by: Hendrik Mannes
performance & puppets: Michael Vogel
live-music: Charlotte Wilde

„Spleen is a kaleidoscope of pictures, so songs and miniatures, inspired by Charles Baudelaires collection of poems in prose „Le Spleen de Paris, which was published posthumously in 1869. Mankind on the threshold to modernity is described in the scenes played out between thirst for life and longing for death, between a romantic search for infinity and a brutal triviality.
The play is open in this production: the performers are on the stage with puppets and musical instruments, Baudelaires texts spoken by children and recorded on tape. The magic of this kaleidoscope develops in the imagination between actors, material and audience: A sequence of pictures and live-music, that wants to counterpoint Baudelaires vision of the world and open it for an understanding from the present.

Mein Gott: Baudelaire hätte lautstark applaudiert!!!! Dem unwissenden Publikum gefriert das But in den Adern. Ich finde wirklich, dass die Todessehnsucht der "Spleen"-Gedichte hier gut illustriert wird. Aber ich vermisse dennoch die WOrte: aus dem Off hätte man "Quand le ciel bas et lourd " entsprechend rezitieren können. Wenn schon exklusiv, dann aber richtig... Dennoch: Hut ab!
