Estremadura
“Estremedura” Andrea Hovenbitzer, Sabine Lütz, Michael Seifert
|
At the beginning one sees that Lansdale has preference for a strict structured form in his work “Estremedura”, based on the play by Lorca, “Bernarda Alba’s House”. It is a dark piece, 5 daughters and a strictly moral mother. The youngest daughter gives herself to the fiancé of her wealthy older sister. Like the piece “The Sinner”, she commits suicide, very effectively stage, with a large veil. Lansdale uses a neo-classical vocabulary of intense, screaming arabesques, jealous filled grand jetés full of hate, inhibited bourrées and bodies like withered branches. An expressionism inspired by Wigman and Jooss. Malve Gradinger, Saarbrücker Zeitung |
