Serebrennikow und Hüller – Ruhrtriennale-Premieren gefeiert

With the biggest premiere and big names of Sandra Hüller and Kirill Serebrennik, the Ruhrtriennale has started in the first season of the new intentions Ivo van Hove. The performance of the monumental Schauspiels «Legende» by the Russian Exil-Directors Serebrennikow was performed at the Samstagabend in Duisburg for minutes with Beifall.

Schon am Freitgabend überzeugte the Oscarnominated Schauspielerin Hüller in the Opening Premiere «I want absolute Beauty» as a Rock and Pop singer. Inserted into the Musiktheater after Songs of the British All-round Artist PJ Harvey von Hove himself.

The current world is a succession of directors

The Besondere an der Ruhrtriennale is a showplace in the only industrial layers of the Ruhr area. So entfaltete der kremlkritische Serebrennikow in seinem Stück «Legende» in der «Kraftzentrale» des Duisburger Landschaftsparks Nord – een een instigen Hüttenwerk – de Welt des verfollows sowjetischen Kult-Filmdirectors Sergej Paradschanow (1924-1990). Paradeschanows Werke inspired by Weltstar Lady Gaga. At the end of the four-day meeting, a political appeal stands: «Free All Political Prisoners» (Freilassung aller politischen Gefangeneen) stands on the mountain top above a Leinwand behind the Ensemble.

Paradeschanow had thus become 100 years old. In 1924 in Georgian Tbilisi (Tiflis) a rebellious army was born with an eccentric life and fantastic improvisations that formed the Soviet regime. The filmmaker spent more years another way through the propaganda of homosexuality in the street, the violence and the deprived word. Critics quiet Paradeschanow’s aesthetics, his course with legends and marchenhaften substances, which extend the previously written socialist cultural deal further.

Criticism of Putin’s Russia

Serebrennikow lights up life and work Paradeschanows in six «Legends» with many witches, burlesque Klamauk, imaginative and farbenfrohen Anspielungen and the Caucasian Cultures, but also macabre madness criminal scenes. The director criticizes the Russian Angriffskrieg against the Ukraine. A question of the alternative king can criticize the long-term of the president Vladimir Putin.

De Schicksal des 54-jährigen Serebrennikow weist Parallellen zu Paradschanow auf. In Russia, Serebrennikow 2017 was rejected and there were doubts about accusations that could have been made in Germany. The new album is a product of the Ruhrtriennale with the Hamburger Thalia Theater and Kirill & Friends Company.

If we get a big round of applause for the Schauspieler, we will see Karin Neuhäuser as an alternative Diva. The pieces were composed of the secret songs of the patriarchal choirs of the Trinity Cathedral, which were gilded as the most important choir of the Georgian Church.
