La Biennale di Venezia and tour started!!
Elektra Unbound tour has started!
Here are some good reviews!
https://lostdramaturgininternational.wordpress.com/tag/theatre/
"There is something vaguely expressionistic (almost The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) in its sharp edges) about the production’s simple stage design (created by Shizuka Hariu). The design is minimalistic but extremely effective: a marble throne with two seats and a white ramp leading towards the audience. Even this design lends itself to the referentiality of the piece."

"Stories of desperate loneliness that one day flare up only to be devoured by the very fire of despair. There is something dystopian about the scenes created by Shizuka Hariu that refer to extreme end-of-the-world places."

The set designed by Shizuka Hariu is a perfect blend of classical Greek mythology and trash TV. What do these worlds have in common, in your view?
"Earlier, De Morgen equally awarded four stars to Elektra Unbound, performing arts magazine Etcetera called the show "irreverent, terribly intelligent and horribly funny"...."
