In the center of the space: a giant portrait. Jesus looks the audience in the eyes, in a questioning and challenging manner, and he is simultaneously an observer and an observee. In front of him is a designer living room, a demented father whose infirmity is harrowing and his son who seesaws back and forth between patience and aggression, trying Sisyphus-like to change his father's diapers. United only in their despair over the indignity of the situation.

In this almost wordless theater piece condensed into the essentials, Romeo Castellucci deals with the icon of Western culture per se, Christ, an icon that stands for passion but also for mercy and love, and comprises the basic conditions of human existence in an unrelenting sharpness.

 

"In this piece the gaze of Jesus becomes a spotlight that bathes the events onstage in a changeable light. The light could be good or evil, offensive or innocent. I know more than a thousand painters who have spent half their lives reproducing the inexpressible, almost invisible suffering on his lips. Now he's not here anymore." (Romeo Castellucci)

+Biography

The curator Romeo Castellucci, director of the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio (founded in 1981), has been one of the most radical and uncompromising theatre-makers in Europe since the 1990s. He was a guest performer at SPIELART 1997 with his production GIULIO CESARE (1997). In the meantime his productions are performed all over the world at international festivals. His cycle TRAGEDIA ENDOGONIDIA was created in eleven cities and consists of eleven different episodes, and the episode BR.#04 BRUXELLES/BRUSSEL (2003) was performed at the SPIELART 2005 theatre festival. The entire cycle was shown in a movie theatre at the SPIELART 2007 festival in its video version.
