In 1924 Thomas Mann published his ‘great European novel’, The Magic Mountain. In June 2008 it will be 101 years ago that Mann sent his main character, Hans Castorpe, on a journey from Hamburg to Switzerland. Stan, Maatschappij Discordia, Cie. De Koe, Dood Paard and Willem de Wolf, the cream of our country’s theatre companies, celebrate this with a first episode of their adaptation of Mann’s ironic masterpiece.

Wed 25.06.08

Since the opening performance at our Comedy Festival in 2004, Tristero has presented no less than five sold-out series of Abigail’s Party, a bittersweet comedy by the filmmaker and playwright Mike Leigh. This set – which is more like an installation in the style of Guillaume Bijl – is the starting point for Living. The characters in Abigail’s Party evolve in this very same space.

KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS 08 - Melting glaciers, burning forests, cities under water, screens and cameras spying on us, weapons of mass destruction... End starts out from the images the media project onto our retinas. The performance artist Kris Verdonck shows the possible final stages of a human society in ten scenes that are linked by a monologue by a speaking character (Johan Leysen).

In KAMP Hotel Modern imagines life and death in the Auschwitz concentration camp. A huge model of Auschwitz fills the stage. Thousands of dolls depict the prisoners and their executioners. The actors walk around the model, armed with miniature cameras, film the terrible events and make the audience witnesses to them. An impressive and authentic performance.

Wed 16.04 - Sat 19.04.08

The Nature Theater of Oklahoma – the name comes from the last chapter of Kafka’s novel America – is one of New York’s most talented theatre companies of the last few years. The directors Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper create clever, funny, very physical and unconventional productions. No Dice is an ‘epic of everyday life’. An epic in which there is room for false moustaches and pirate hats.

Thu 03.04 - Sat 05.04.08

Two actors and two actresses are lying very comfortably in a kingsize bed. They muse at length on fundamental subjects such as politics and society, and love and relationships. It is a caustic and at times extremely funny tirade in which they drop their guard and expose themselves. Or is it the spectator who is exposed?

1993: the former Yugoslavia collapses. Sarajevo is an occupied city. In New York, five characters meet. One of them has just returned from Sarajevo. This symbolic city becomes the benchmark against which the five gauge their own questions, expectations and even ambitions. What can they do? What should they do? In Sarajevo, the playwright and director Rudi Meulemans explores new territory in his writing.

Back in the USSR tells the story of three Soviet girls as seen through the eyes of a German journalist looking for archive pictures in the former Soviet block. What has happened to the young pioneers of that period, the members of the Komsomol youth organisation, of which an estimated two thirds of today’s adults were a member. Back in the USSR switches between past and present in an idiom that is highly expressive, musical and physical.

Mythobarbital / Val der Titanen (formerly announced as Deviant), a new piece by Stef Lernous, Tine Van den Wyngaert, Kirsten Pieters and Chiel van Berkel who share a fascination for the outsider, the underground and everything that deviates from the norm. Their nasty but witty plays can best be described as existential horror theatre.

At the conference in Yalta (February 1945) the border between Germany and Poland was redrawn. As a result, millions of people were driven from their homes. This is what Transfer! is all about, a production by the Polish ‘angry young director’ Jan Klata, told and performed by people who experienced the drama at that time.

The author and director Young Jean Lee made a piece about her Korean-American identity. A harsh and provocative show, with a sense of humour worthy of Monty Python, somewhere between dance and stand-up comedy, vaudeville and drama, and a multimedia performance.

Tristero is presenting AN, their own version of Attempts On Her Life (1997), Crimp’s masterpiece. Who is An? She seems to be able to assume a great many guises. On this ‘confusing’ basis, Tristero as always creates an accessible, intelligent and humorous theatre experience with a bitter aftertaste.

After Mefisto for ever, Guy Cassiers is working on Wolfskers, the second part of a trilogy devoted to the discordant relationship between art, politics and power. Whereas Mefisto for ever showed an artist who allows himself to be seduced and corrupted by power, Wolfskers focuses on those in power themselves, with Hitler, Lenin and Hirohito as main figures.

One of the high points of last season was the performance of Georges Aperghis’ breathtaking 14 Récitations. Aperghis is joining us again this season, with Avis de tempête, a ‘miraculous, hallucinatory’ piece of musical theatre, first performed by Ictus at the Opéra de Lille in 2004. It was directed by Aperghis himself. Le Figaro: ‘Une oeuvre d’art totale.’

Jan Decorte was one of the first theatre-makers in Flanders to work with the whimsical, poetical, seemingly untheatrical plays of Heiner Müller. Now, he would again like to confront the wildness and radicality of Müller’s work.

Beverly and Laurent, a respectable couple, give a cocktail party in honour of the new neighbours. After several rounds it becomes difficult to keep things agreeable.  Abigail’s Party is a biting comedy written in the style of a soap by Mike Leigh. Tristero has made a wonderfully kitsch version of it in a pure seventies style. This season we will be presenting the play for the fifth time. A classic!

The theater of the German Raimund Hoghe is both intimate and universal. In Lettere amorose he works with authentic love letters, borrowed from other people’s lives, with his own body and with space. Classical and popular music stands side by side on the soundtrack. A high point in Hoghe’s work.
