Physical
theater performance inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead

"Futile
acquaitance, the unconscious, like a blind old lady, tumbles
without knowing where it goes and what it does. Unacquaintance brings fervor, in which Deed, the rigorous effect of earlier acts forms the unconscious like the potter who makes a pot out of mud. Conscience comes from fervor, which is unsteady, just like the monkey in the forest running from tree to tree."

Mankind has always been
interested in the question of life after death. However, many times
in our life we die and are reborn again. New and new periods are
opening to the future among our fears and desires, depending on how
we could understand and process what happened with us in the past.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead incorporates the myth of this change.
The creators of this show were particurarly inspired by the
statement, that the road leading to the death – and to rebirth –
is not neccessarily a solitary
adventure. As an educated tibetan Lama or an experienced master
whispers the ritual texts into the dying's ears, so we can help each
other through our life's various – sometimes seemingly tragic –
phases.
The Book of the Dead
performance tells us three different death stories. The first one
unfolds the relationship between a man and an old woman, in the
second an old man meets a young mother, and in the third one two
monks are travelling among the paths of liminal existence. The
speciality of this performance, which is caracterized by grotesque
humor as well as meditative silence, is that all the roles are
performed by the same two actors.
With this show Lénárd
Ilyés and Csaba Formanek are willing to summarize all of their
physical theater experiences collected from the recent years. They
have learned from creators like Gábor Csetneki, Oleg Zhukovsky or
the company of the Teatr Novogo Fronta. Besides their theater works,
they regularly lead workshops focused on the physical aspects of the
actor's consciousness. The visual world of their new performance is
enhanced by the scenery designer Ádám Pignitzky.
After the local premiere
international trading is also planned.
