Marat/Sade

A show recommended since 16 years.

An energetic performance in which the scenography of a play about the revolution with its protagonist, Marat, in the lead role is created before the eyes of the audience. The actors of this spectacle are, constantly eluding the power of the director, insubordinate prisoners directed by the Marquis de Sade himself. The moving, plastic scenes of the revolution are interspersed with witty, even juggling performances of the heroes. The whole thing is arranged in a tragicomic story about the universal mechanisms that govern the world with the still topical question: “what happened to our revolution?”

From reviews:

“This performance would not have a chance to exist without a multi-voice, collective creation, without this group of madmen, soloists, who are able to alternately melt into the choir and emerge from it, clearly marking their individuality, their own language, their unique acting quality” (Magda Piekarska, Notatnik teatalny).

“Jean Paul Marat (Rafał Cieluch), the main character of Libera's play, wants a revolution, and his companions from a strict factory want to break up first and foremost. Meanwhile, the director of this hostel wishes to have peace, and the Marquis de Sade (George Senator) wants to show off his directorial talent. From this explosive mixture was created a performance that shakes the stage of the Wrocław Contemporary Theatre”. (Katarzyna Mikołajewska, Gazeta Wyborcza).

The Marat/Sade play was based on Peter Weiss's drama The Martyrdom and Death of Jean Paul Marat presented by the cast of the Charenton Asylum under the direction of Mr. de Sade.
