Faust Director - Between "The Moment"And The New Theatricality
- Ludmila Patlanjoglu (Romania)
"We now live in a state of chaos and plague and these are constantly producing art and play" declared the Romanian director Silviu Purcarete. Phenomena like globalization, invasion of mass media, cloning, terrorism, obsession of Apocalypse determined the theatricality to be stronger. This fact led to the reborn power of the directing. In the hypostasis of Faustus, the director followed by the "moment" in order to find and master the world offers three models: the model of remix - the total deconstruction of the classical text and its transformation into a post modern script, mainly visual; the model royal court - the design of the performance in terms of theatre team building; and the model theatre doc - the lecture of the every day life, conflicts and human behaviour of the contemporary mankind viewed in a theatrical key.
