Mount Olympus. To glorify the cult of tragedy, a 24 hour performance, is one huge slab of history dipped in a sea of time. It is humanity’s time, time of the birth of tragedy, of the descent into hell and the volcano of evil, ceaselessly spewing its ashes. Its breeding grounds are the hubris, blindness and cravings of man. Over and over, man stumbles over pine commandments, falls, and drags along generations of time.
Simultaneously distant and nearby, we recognize outlines of stories and characters taken from Greek tragedy. These characters have their faults torn open by Fabre, are left in tatters, beaten by violence and Homeric laughter and fervent ecstasy.
However, tragedy is forced to share its spotlights with time. What is time, in theatre? What happens when time is stretched out, until it relaxes and unravels? Is this a sort of hallucination? A dream? What is it like to wallow in the swamp of insomnia
Mount Olympus is shaping up to be a unique experience. Come climb that mountain, pe into that ocean. This will be unforgettable.
The performance will be spoken in Dutch, English, French and German
With Dutch and English subtitles
Mount Olympus has been selected for the Theatre Festival and will be staged at the Bourla again on September 27th 2016!
