A playwriter of uncompromising theatre that is in itself proof of freedom, Frank Castorf is one of the most representative figures in German theatre. He revisits in French Jean Racine’s Bajazet and confronts it with Antonin Artaud’s essay The Theatre and the Plague. Bajazet unfolds between the four walls of the Constantinople’s seraglio while the sultan is away. A tragedy that shows how fallible the human spirit is and how impossible it is for pure feelings to prevail.
Performed in French with Portuguese surtitles.
