“Bohemian artworld, the diva waters the flowers of decay on the
side of the slope, easygoing, lovable, frivolous lady with a playful, childlike
smile, a stylistic parody of many-a ferocious men, lesbian attraction, suicide,
murder. This is the story in a nutshell of the play based on Wedekind’s
Pandora’s Seal. Lóránt András plays with the Hollywoodian content: he puts it
all into film. The chansons that are reminiscent of the last century and are
meant to substitute dialogue create the atmosphere of a silent film: between
each act – as if they were each a footnote – Wedekind’s narrative frame is
projected on a canvas… Lulu is a varied, complexly structured play that over
and over again submits the dramatic tone of the play… The one and a half hour
long staging based on a collaged musical scape the experience works the
audience over in each stimulus field from visual through dance and melody and
does all this fully knowing and acknowledging the experimental theatre
traditions of Figura…”
