Mabuse


Last thursday was the premiere of Bock & Vincenzi's performance "The infinte pleasure of the great unknown" introducing Troupe Mabuse at Toynbee Studios (Arts Admin).
"THE INFINITE PLEASURES OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN is a stage show presented within the form of a film. Behind a black cinema screen Troupe Mabuse play a cast of thousands, in a never-ending state of emergency; a storm in which the fear of the unknown conceals its own controlling force. Into this play of possession, King Lear also appears. Having missed his cue to die he wanders eternally in a landscape of his own making, searching for meaning within a scrambled version of Shakespeare’s original storm scene."

The performance is well thought and the attention to details in order to create such a peculiar Lynch-esque atmosphere was brilliant. Maybe a little long if you ask me but the experment was definitely worth it.
