La Reprise: Histoire(s) du théâtre (I)

Milo Rau

La Reprise: Histoire(s) du théâtre (I)

One night in April of 2012, Ihsane Jarfi gets talking to a group of young men in front of a gay club in Liège. Two weeks later he is found dead. Milo Rau is reconstructing the case – working with professional and non-professional actors – for the stage.

One night in April of 2012, Ihsane Jarfi gets talking to a group of young men in a grey VW Polo in front of a gay club on a street corner in Liège. Two weeks later he is found dead at the edge of a wood. He had been violently murdered after being tortured for hours. The crime upsets and unsettles the entire city. Milo Rau is reconstructing the case – working with professional and non-professional actors – for the stage.

From the very beginning, theatre has been an incantation of the dead, a ritualized experience of original sins and collective traumas. In The Repetition, the first part of a series curated by Milo Rau titled Histoire(s) du théâtre, the director and author approaches tragedy in the form of a multi-perspective narrative of a criminal case in 5 acts. What is at the beginning of a crime? Intention or coincidence? What part does the audience play? How much is the collective to blame? And who is on stage? Milo Rau and his four actors Sara De Bosschere, Sébastien Foucault, Johan Leysen and Tom Adjibi, as well as the storeman Fabian Leenders and the dog-sitter Suzy Cocco set out to discover a capital crime, in search of the essential emotions of tragic experiences: loss and grief, truth and falsehood, disaster and fear, cruelty and terror. Six professional and non-professional actors ponder the glamour and depths of life and theatre and slip into the roles of the protagonists involved in a brutal murder case: A manifesto for a democratic theatre of the real emerges.

With this production, Milo Rau will be introducing the series Histoire(s) du théâtre, a performative long-term study on human kind’s oldest art form, which the Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula will be continuing in the 2018/19 season. Rau and his team return to the fundamental problems of their artistic work over the last 15 years: the question of representability of violence and traumatic events on stage – in search of the essence of the fundamentally tragic human condition and in celebration of the power of theatre.

Director

Milo Rau

Les créations du Bernois Milo Rau, essayiste, réalisateur de cinéma et metteur en scène, sont nourries d’enquêtes sociohistoriques. Elles interrogent l’identité de l’Europe postmoderne en s’intéressant à ses mythes médiatiques rassurants et à ses responsabilités inavouées. Questionnant autant les faits historiques que leurs représentations, elles se situent à la frontière incertaine entre documentaire et fiction. Milo Rau est à la tête de l’International Institute of Political Murder (IIPM) qu’il a fondé en 2007, et dirige aujourd’hui le NTGent. À Vidy, il a présenté en 15/16 The Dark Ages et Compassion – l’histoire de la mitraillette et Empire en 16/17 puis, invité par Vidy et pour Programme Commun, Les 120 Journées de Sodome créé avec le Theater Hora et le Schauspielhaus de Zurich. Vidy accueillait en 2018, La Reprise: Histoire(s) du théâtre (1) et Orestes in Mossul en 2019 et Familie en 2021.
