Spielart Theatre Festival. 19 November – 5 December
This is a theatre festival interested in exploring new territories and provoking viewpoints. Spielart supports open forms: theater performances do not necessarily take place within a theatre building; theater can also transcend the strict framework of the discipline and take place in the so-called interdisciplinary territory. Theatre can be a complex art; it can borrow its means of expression from a variety of other arts.
The festival calls itself the Munich „window to the world"; every two years, artists from some of the world's most significant and influential theatres bring their works to the city, always showcasing new ideas, albeit often provoking hot debates. Spielart, a forum of the contemporary theatre, presents the latest by young arriving artists and avant-garde classics, the likes of the British director Tim Etchells and his Forced Entertainment ensemble which marked its 25th anniversary in 2008; this year, they are bringing two of their latest productions to Munich.
The festival has also invited the Berlin Gob Squad, one of the most endearing and witty European performing groups, with their Kitchen, a production in which screen and stage elements meet in creative interplay.
The Italian Controllo Remoto performance group works without actors or text, operating with images in a sonic space; their Orthographie should not be missed.
The Latvian director Alvis Hermanis is bringing his latest work to the festival: his Späte Nachbarn is a Munich Kammerspiele company production.
This year's programme is focusing on the Argentine theatre represented by three stage directors.
A workshop/laboratory will be open during the festival, featuring seminal contemporary artists like the American choreographer Meg Stuart, the German set designer and director Anna Viebrock and the British director Tim Etchells work with young artists on a joint production. To follow their collective creative quest, log on to Connections, Festival im Festival section of the Spielart website.
