PESSOA SInce I've been me
Robert Wilson • Revival
ROBERT WILSON TAKES A TROUPE OF INTERNATIONAL PERFORMERS ON A JOURNEY TO THE DREAMY SHORES OF FERNANDO PESSOA’S POETRY.
A blue sky with red suns. Black cypress and a little white boat. Shadows of silhouettes, fantastical animals and the phrase: “I don’t know what tomorrow will bring.” And then there is this little man in a suit, with glasses, a moustache and a hat, sitting on the edge of the stage: Fernando Pessoa, the man with multiple heteronyms - multiple other selves. He watches us, distant from the life he observes, as though sitting by a river whose disquieting beauty stems from the infinity of a moment. Robert Wilson is the master of this moment, who makes art out of sensations. Childhood and death, dreams and waking-life are woven together in his mischievous and mysterious opus, where speech and silence, music-hall and poetry, light and dark combine. He reminds us all that “countless lives inhabit us”.
