German stage premiere of “World on a Wire”
Premiere in the Schauspielhaus Dortmund on June 2, 2013
The highly anticipated theater production of World on a Wire is now coming to the stage in Dortmund and providing a counterpoint to the version seen in Fassbinder’s film. Adapting the two-part science fiction film for the stage is proving a real challenge for dramaturg Anne-Kathrin Schulz and director Claudia Bauer: “Working on the play is a real joy for everyone involved. This is evident every day during rehearsals, which are seeing a lively exchange of ideas both during sit-down discussions and on stage.”
The program for the production includes the following: “Who am I? What am I? Crime thriller, adventure, vision of the future: the world within the world, the watched and the watchers, simulation of reality, people caught between reality and illusion – trapped within the question as to how much of their lives they really control themselves.”
This puzzle is present at the start and the end. How will Zeno’s paradox be resolved visually? We’ll have to wait and see …
