Les nouvelles hallucinations de Lucas Cranach l'Ancien
Inspired by the world of the German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, the show explores the troubled attitudes of characters haunted by convulsive memories of a previous existence. Figures appear behind a trompe l’oeil wall pierced with windows, creating tableaux vivants in an atmosphere dominated by humour, eroticism and the mystery of presence.
This will be a complete re-creation of the piece that premièred in January 1990 at Theater De Synagoge in Tilburg (The Netherlands) under the title De ultieme gevoelens van Lucas Cranach de Oude and that toured for almost 25 years across Europe.
