In Vivo Théâtre

Anna Schewelew. Fabian Offert. Le Balcon Laurent Durupt. Fausto Romitelli

For electric musical theater! Following In Vivo Théâtre 2012 with Ludovic Lagarde and a young generation of French directors, Heiner Goebbels is coordinating the In Vivo Théâtre 2013 workshop. How have computer technologies cornered artists’ studios, the stage, our raw strength?

Anna Schewelew and Fabian Offert, two young stage designers from the Giessen Institute where Heiner Goebbels teaches, meet the imagination of Laurent Durupt. The musicians from Le Balcon on parole, connected to a misplaced server on the stage of the Bouffes du Nord that has become and electronic circuit. In the Baroque esthetic of Professor Bad Trip, completed in 2000, Fausto Romitelli had already staged another form of addiction: the loss of control and experiencing the void.
