.. in apocalyptic times
Eurythmy performance
Eurythmy Stage Group of the Goetheanum; Kim Bartlett, singing; Christian Ahrens and others, instruments. Barbara Stuten, artistic director speech choir; Carina Schmid, artistic director
‚... in apocalyptic time‘ is the programme to be performed for the first time on 29 September 2010, at the beginning of the Michaelmas conference. With eurythmy, speech, sound and song.
The 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation will be the focus for the evening; contemporary texts and statements will relate to its relevance for us today.
In the 5th letter to the Church in Sardis, it says: ‚...You bear the name of one that lives and yet you are dead. Seek to come awake in your conscious mind and give strength to such as still lives in your soul, lest it die as well ... Bring alive in you the memory of everything you have received and heard from the spiritual world. Nurture it within you, and have a change of heart.‘
A change of heart – the beginnings of a new culture arising from a free I? The event is intended to contribute to this in the arts.
¡ silence ! Pantomime
Company Bodecker & Neander
The two pantomimes present an art that has grown rare for an evening. Without a word, they make use of silence to create optical illusions, magic surprises and journeys through time. The two tragicomic figures, seemingly lost on the stage, turn into heroes of the moment in a number of short stories ... or sometimes perhaps not.
Silence has been awarded the Berlin Public Audience Prize.
With their tragicomic figures and stories full of music, the most subtle humour and poetry, they have appeared all around Europe, South America and Asia.
Alexander Neander and Wolfram von Bodecker have studied with Marcel Marceau in Paris and are part of his company. In 1996 they established the Theatre Mimo Magique. They presented Out of the Blue at the Goetheanum in 2006.
Prince Ivan, the little witch and the sun‘s sister
A musical tale, composed, rehearsed and directed by Eric Noyer
with the children, young people and adults of Les Allagouttes and Surcenord.
Czarevitch Ivan does not speak but carefully listens to the ostler in the stables who tells him of past and future. The ostler predicts that the czarevitch will have a little sister, but she‘ll be born with teeth black as pitch, and hard as iron, and will swallow up the whole world. The old ostler therefore advised him to flee. Ivan‘s first words are to request a horse to take him to the end of the world, to the little sister of the sun. In the end, the powers of good will overcome the evil witch.
The musical tale has been worked with by the children, young people and adults as a community project in everyday life.
