Theatre Wilde & Vogel, GermanySpleenDanish premiere 'Spleen' is a kaleidoscope of pictures, songs and miniatures, inspired by Charles Baudelaire's collection of poems in prose 'Le Spleen de Paris', which was published posthumously in 1869. Mankind on the threshold to modernity is described in the scenes played out between thirsting for life and longing for death, between a romantic search for infinity and a brutal triviality. The play is open in this production: the performers are on the stage with puppets and musical instruments, Baudelaire’s texts spoken by children and recorded on tape. The magic of this kaleidoscope develops in the imagination between actors, material and audience: A sequence of pictures and live-music that seeks to counterpoint Baudelaire’s vision of the world and open it for an understanding in the present. The theatre gives a workshop on music and puppet theatre at the festival.
