Endgame [Performance] Douban
Endgame
genre: theater playwright: Samuel Beckett
other title: 终局 director: Robert Wilson / Richard Jones actor: Martin Schneider / Georgios Tsivanoglou / Traute Hoess / ürgen Holtz / Alan Cumming
Like in most of Samuel Beckett’s texts, Endgame deals with characters outside of society, waiting and looking in vain for something unknown in a nondescript, apocalyptical place. Its characters are bound towards each other by an invisible chain of co-dependency that knows no way out. Contrary to this bleak topic, it is a strikingly funny play with a number of comic elements, physical and verbal. Endgame was Robert Wilson's 10th production at the Berliner Ensemble since 1998.
“This poignancy and consequence. This concentration. This severity. This humor. ... No sentimentality, but the echo of a world in turmoil.”
— Der Tagesspiegel (Rüdiger Schaper), Dec. 4, 2016

Hamm kann nicht stehen, Clov kann nicht sitzen, Hamm ist der Herr, Clov der Diener, beide sind zum Überleben aufeinander angewiesen. In zwei Mülleimern Nagg und Nell, Hamms Eltern, die „verfluchten Erzeuger“, auch sie können nicht fort. Gemeinsam spielen sie ein nie endendes „Endspiel“ gegen die Hoffnungslosigkeit, trotzen der untergehenden Welt mit unerbittlicher Ironie und heiterer Verzweiflung, denn: „Nichts ist komischer als das Unglück.“ Robert Wilson verwandelt mit Becketts ENDSPIEL erneut einen der Klassiker der Weltliteratur in sein Zaubertheater für alle Sinne. Der amerikanische Regisseur, Bühnenbildner, Architekt, Künstler..., der selbst seit 2009 als „Krapp“in Becketts LETZTEMBANDauf der Bühne steht, und dessen Inszenierungen auf der ganzen Welt zu sehen sind, hat im BERLINERENSEMBLEseit Jahren eine künstlerische Heimat gefunden. 1998 inszeniert Wilson zum ersten Mal am BE(Brechts OZEANFLUG), und Stücke wie LEONCEUNDLENA, DIEDREIGROSCHENOPER,SHAKESPEARESSONETTE, PETERPANund zuletzt FAUSTI UNDII prägen den Spielplan des Theaters mit seiner unvergleichlichen künstlerischen Handschrift.

The Real Cabaret (2009) [Movie] Douban
director: Richard Bright actor: Alan Cumming
Few musicals can claim to capture the mood of a historical period as well as the 1972 classic Cabaret.
Liza Minnelli's unforgettable portrayal of singer Sally Bowles and the film's stylish recreation of the era have become defining images of Weimar Berlin.
In this documentary, actor Alan Cumming explores the truths behind the fiction. He meets many of those closely involved with the original film, including Liza Minnelli, and talks to cabaret artists, among them acclaimed performer Ute Lemper.
Alan explores the origins of the Cabaret story in the writings of Christopher Isherwood and uncovers the story of the real life Sally Bowles, a woman very different from her fictional counterpart.
He talks to the composer of Cabaret about the inspiration for the film's most famous songs and discovers the stories of the original composers and performers, among them Marlene Dietrich. Finally, Alan reveals the tragic fate of many of the cabaret artists at the hands of the Nazis.
The documentary pays tribute to the magic of the original film and explores the fascinating and often shocking reality of the people and stories that inspired it.

第一幕

("Overture")

來到倫敦的貧民區,演員們唱出這個罪貫滿盈的城市之中,以大盜麥希為首惡。("The Ballad of Mack the Knife")丐幫幫主積隆歡迎新加入的成員,並教他一套在這個地方可以活下去的法則。("Peachum's Morning Choral")他與其妻討論女兒波莉的新男友,當他們赫然發現那便是麥希的時候深感不妙,要阻止這頭婚事。("The Instad Of Song")另一邊廂,麥希和他的爪牙們正準備著婚禮,並要爪牙們唱歌助興。("Wedding Song")他以恐佈統領他們,為了緩和氣氛波莉也來一曲。("Pirate Jenny")突然線報指警察頭子布朗殺到,麥希跟之一輪招呼後才揭示二人是軍旅好友的關係。("Army Song")在布朗祝福麥希之後,沒有承諾沒有介指的婚禮便進行。("Love Song")回到家中波莉宣佈他已經與麥希結婚的消息,("Barbara Song")積隆夫妻焦急不已,決定要不擇手段從中作梗。而他們的籌碼卻是想利用布朗和麥希的關係去捉住麥希。("Act I Finale")

第二幕

波莉回去警告麥希,他卻不大當是一回事,("Melodrama")更將事業交給波莉處理,自己暫時避一避風頭。("Polly's Song")但積隆太太深知這男人好色成性,("Ballad of Sexual Dependency")必定會去妓院找老相好珍妮,便預先買通了她。果然,麥希又回到這溫柔窩,("Pimp's Ballad")正當他沉醉在聲色犬馬之中的時候,("Ballad of the Pleasant Life")警察們殺到,畢竟麥希是通緝犯,這下布朗也不能不將之逮捕了。在牢獄中麥希以言語哄布朗之女露茜放他出去,更不惜棄波莉於不顧。("Jealousy Duet")果然這讓露茜軟化了,("Aria of Lucy")放了他出去。積隆得知後便去威脅布朗,如果他不捉回麥希的話便會帶領群丐搗亂英女皇的嘉冕儀式,陪上布朗的仕途。("Act II Finale")

The Seagull 2008 Classic Stage Company版 [Performance] Douban
part of Performance: The Seagull
director: Viacheslav Dolgachev
other title: 2008 Classic Stage Company版 playwright: Anton Chekhov actor: Dianne Wiest / Alan Cumming



Through both comedy and tragedy, "Seagull" explores lives that are precariously balanced between love and indifference, success and failure, hope and despair. The first of what are considered to be Chekhov's four great plays, it sets the scene for the playwright's unmistakable mix of melancholia and laughter combined with a unique understanding of the daily torment of an unfulfilled.
