Details: Following his successful staging of Scenes from a Marriage (2005) and Cries and Whispers (2009), renowned Dutch director Ivo van Hove once again tackles two works of the legendary Ingmar Bergman. In After the rehearsal, we see a director for whom theatre is the very essence of his life. The theatre fuels his existence and his productions resemble autobiographies. In the theatre he experiences his deepest longings, exorcizes his fears, experiences the beginnings of love and bids farewell to worn-out relationships. In Persona, an actress abruptly stops in the middle of a performance of Electra and refuses to speak another word. For her, acting has become meaningless. She no longer wants to play the role of an actress. She is admitted to hospital, where a young nurse tries to give her back her appetite for life.
Van Hove says of the works that they are "akin to musical sonatas, which ask questions about the meaning of theatre and of art in our lives, our society. As befits the grandmaster Ingmar Bergman, he does this without moralizing but with an unwavering focus on and deep understanding of people in all their complexity and humanity. Moving yet uncompromising".
The play starts at 20.00.
