Moise und die Welt der Vernunft
Based on the novel by Tennessee Williams
Staging: Alexander Giesche
- 60% Broken Heart
- 80% Care
- 100% Last Words
After the award-winning visual poem Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän after Max Frisch, Alexander Giesche returns to the Pfauen for the last time. This time, Alexander Giesche is inspired by Tennessee Williams' last novel: Moise and the World of Reason is a farewell. In loose associations, Williams describes the loneliness, alienation and marginalisation that drive an artist to withdraw from the world of reason – and to break with art. Alexander Giesche takes Tennessee Williams' last words to create a powerful visual poem about the tenderness of encounter and the bitterness of parting.
