Stage designer Bert Neumann will be talk guest for the F/T Theatrotheque
Bert Neumann, one of the most influential stage designers of the German-language theatre scene, has, with his unique style looking deeply behind the facade of today's urban spaces, given many outstanding performances of the last 20 years an unforgettable "face". Applying images of suburbs, urban blight and cheap glamour, he sharp-sightedly questions the ideas of happiness and salvation that capitalism conveys.

"The Show Must Go On" Performers for the Japanese version wanted!
"The Show Must Go On"A masterwork by Jerome Bel that revolutionized the dance scene worldwide
Co-presented by Festival/Tokyo 11 and Saitama Arts Theater
Performers for the Japanese version wanted!
The performance of Jerome Bel's "The Show Must Go On" in Japan will
be co-presented by Festival/Tokyo 11 and Saitama Arts Theater. This work
created a stir in the European theatre world by radically questioning
the principles of stage dance. After it's premiere in Paris in 2001, it
toured more than 50 cities all over the world and has in the meantime
become a part of the repertoire of the Lyon Opera Ballet. In 2005,
Jerome Bel won a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award) for
"The Show Must Go On". The piece gathers men and women of different
ages and occupations who perform extremely well-known pop songs that
almost everybody feels familiar with, on stage.
We are currently seeking performers for the Japanese version of "The
Show Must Go On". Stage experience is not required. Desirable are people
of different nationalities, ages and looks.
Don't miss the unique opportunity to participate in this piece that is
highly acclaimed by theaters and festivals worldwide and has
revolutionized the dance world.
