Will Heaven Fall Upon Us? | A Béla Tarr Retrospective

Spazju Kreattiv Cinema St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta

Béla Tarr has been described as “hopeful cynic” and “scatological mystic”, a filmmaker making dystopian fables on the fall of Communism. But his political critiques of a terminally corrupt regime refuse to be pinned down to a specific historical moment and, to the modern viewer, take on a metaphysical quality – a comment on inevitable entropy of all systems, biological, psychological, and social.

PEER GYNT

Spazju Kreattiv Theatre St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta

"PEER GYNT" huwa dramm li jsegwi il-ħajja u avventuri ta' wieħed mill-akbar giddieba Ewropej filwaqt li jgħaddi minn vjaġġ eċitanti u surreali. Insegwu dan il-fantażista impulsiv li jerfa' lilu nnifsu mill-faqar għal ġid u poter oxxen. Peer Gynt, il-karattru titulari, iħobb lin-nisa, joħlom u jħawwad. Irid isir sinjurun u jistabilixxi l-identita' tiegħu. Imma filwaqt li isir sinjur minn fuq dahar ħaddieħor, Peer irid finalment jaffaċċa vojt profond u tort għall-għażloet ħżiena tiegħu. Dan l-addattament modern ta' Brad Birch tad-dramm klassiku ta' Ibsen jesplora l-esplojtazzjoni mill-Punent, il-kriżi tal-immigrazzjoni, l-identita' u r-redenzjoni f'serata liema bħala fit-teatru.
