F. M. Dostojevski / Diego de Brea
Crime and Punishment
Directed by: Diego de Brea
Opening night: 19. 4. 2009
Description
| »Crime and punishment is a story about what I love, what I fear, and what I long for; wherever and whenever I open it, it scares me and completely captivates me, so I feel like a spiritual child of Dostoyevsky, albeit a poor and helpless one. This is a story about the education of the heart, some kind of a passion play with all the fourteen stations and an epilogue – resurrection,” says Diego de Brea. His own adaptation allowed the director an autonomous (with regard to the novel and the existing adaptations) research of Dostoyevsky’s miraculous universe. Together with an excellent cast they researched the emotional states, the power of fear, anxiety and worries, flight, escape, the pain because of an absent and lost father, the challenging life that brings one beyond the lines of the good and the evil and finally ends miserably in the deepest maze of guilt and suffering. The performance touches the question of re-birth and resurrection, crime as a metaphysical idea, punishment as the demise of the idea and the establishment of doubt. “Punishment means that you take on the suffering and purify yourself through it." When discussing the eerily beautiful stage incarnation of Visconti's film The Damned, Diego de Brea emphasized the following thought, that is a starting point for all his theatre research: the aim of the theatre is to open the things that are deeply hidden, embalmed or disassociated from self.” Therefore it is no coincidence that after Queen Margot and Shakespeare’s tragedy Titus Andronicus the director – together with the actors, whom he considers the essence of theatre – this time turns to the master of the polyphonic novel, to the great psychologist and the philosopher of the novel Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky and his novel Crime and punishment. |
