MARAT/SADE - I Part (Charlotte Corday arrival)
Inspired by essential texts from the play 'Marat/Sade' by the German writer Peter Weiss the performance goes beyond the usual landmarks between dance, music and video art aiming for a real fusion of artistic mediums able to convey the dramatic and poetic impact of the original play.We invite you to a Mental House where our patients believe themselves big revolutionaries or terrorists (Jean Paul Marat), great philosophers or sexual maniacs (Marquis de Sade), paranoids, schizophrenics, or just dysfunctional subjects for the society. In between the patients there is an Angel, the Angel of Death, smiling to all of us...Sinopsys The infamous Marquis de Sade has been imprisoned in the asylum of Charenton for endangering public morals. As a form of therapy the hospital's patients are allowed to take part in plays, and de Sade sets out to dramatize the death of the French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat, who was murdered in his bath. With its cast of sociopaths, schizophrenics, and narcoleptics, Marat/Sade is a wild celebration of insanity, a terrifying pageant bursting with color and music. After all, they are only fifteen years distant from the bloodiest days of the French revolution, and Napoleon's new empire is still making many of the same mistakes as the old. When in 1793, Marat called for the end of monarchies, a young nun, Charlotte Corday, came from the provinces to kill him. His policies called for hundreds more to go to the guillotines, and Corday moved to stop him. Sade dramatizes the stabbing of Marat in his bath with a cast of narcoleptics, paranoiacs, and schizophrenics. The libertine Marquis will pay homage to the great revolutionary and try to convert him to his own libertarian point of view ... though a riot may ensue.
