The Most Charming Villain in Shakespeare\u2019s Plays
\nin New European Theatrical Style<\/p>\n
Richard III is the first in a line of Shakespearean villains known for his moral autonomy and virtuoso art of manipulation. The Director Ostermeier tackles this Shakespeare’s renowned play in a new translation by von Mayenburg that changes English verses into German prose to keep as close to the text’s meaning as possible. Featuring live video, live drum music and puppetry, this traditional historical play is transformed into an extraordinary and avant-garde one that paints the portrait of a Richard III who, more than just a serial killer, also reveals the instincts hidden inside every man. The king-actor, played by Lars Eidinger, uses his gifts to do on the stage what we might want to do, sometimes, in our lives. He creates with the audience a troubling complicity that gives another meaning to this bloody, disturbing, and overwhelming epic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373364,373315,373372,373375],"area_type":[350139],"event_language":[365770],"series":[],"event_category_other":[368674,368731,368734],"class_list":["post-1287093","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-theatre-drama-en","event_category-theatre-en","event_category-theatre-puppetry-en","event_category-theatre-media-imagery-en","area_type-non-local","event_language-german","event_category_other-theatre-en","event_category_other-theatre-puppetry-en","event_category_other-theatre-media-imagery-en","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1287093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1287093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1287093"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1287093"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1287093"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1287093"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1287093"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1287093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
