Alte Meister – Landesmuseum Wiesbaden, Wiesbaden

About this event

Amalia Starikow directs a staging of Thomas Bernhard's Alte Meister inside the exhibition rooms of the Hessisches Landesmuseum Wiesbaden. The production places the audience among paintings, installations, and sculptures while Atzbacher, Reger, and Irrsigler address art, society, and their lives. The directing concept treats Bernhard's text as an examination of the importance of art and a deconstruction of belief in artistic genius. Rather than presenting the play in a conventional theatre setting, the production uses the museum and its collection as the performance environment. The credited production team includes Amalia Starikow as director, Kim Zartin for costumes, Cosma Corona Hahne for dramaturgy, Anne Tysiak for audience development, and Philippe Roth for performance management.
