Studio performance in the main hall
Marivaux’s comedy the
Double Inconstancy is titled Lovers in the transcript and direction of
Visky Andrej, the inconstancy of the rural couple - who have undergone a
turnaround - can be caused by their weakness of character as well as the
harmful effects of their manipulative environment. Arlequin and Silvia
represent the earth-bound, but self-identical and happy love, the person in
harmony with himself. However, the Prince will fall in love with Silvia, and he
wants to get her at any cost, so he will separate them.
The Lovers is a
contemporary parable, which is about the passing, relativization and dissolution
of pure ideals. The spectators can follow the story about the transformation of
Arlequin and Silvia, the way they lose and compromise their pure self. The
space is the amphitheater of the social performance, where everybody has to be successful
(just like on stage), has to sell himself.
It all happens in a
visual and music inspired by the colorful glitter and exaggeration of the baroque,
which evoke and deconstructs the behavior of the 18th century French court, and
shows the distorted shape of a comic, but actually a deeply suffering and
emptied world, which shows at many points a spooky resemblance with our
present.
