ARTAUD3000 Theater a/d Rijn / Ludwig Bindervoet
Theatre maker Ludwig Bindervoet transforms the theatre into an anarchistic arena of the impossible, the unthinkable and the unplayable. ARTAUD3000 is a performance like a whirlwind, driven by a thundering soundscape by Gagi Petrovic and an overstimulating lighting design by Erasmus Mackenna.
Following his successful directorial debut MAMA DADA, about Dada poet and the very first performance artist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Ludwig Bindervoet is now creating an ode to the most notorious theatre innovator and prophet of performance art: Antonin Artaud. Just like Artaud, Bindervoet is a director, actor, and writer, and so he directs, adapts, and performs in Artaud’s never-before-staged sci-fi libretto Il n’y a plus de firmament (There is no longer a firmament; 1933) as ARTAUD3000, an end-times story set in the future.
An unknown planet is hurtling towards Earth. We see humanity in injury time. Ominous and funny. As Artaud’s doppelgänger, Bindervoet takes us on a journey into a sensory-stimulating hall of mirrors, past hallucinatory dream images, psychotic sketches of atmosphere, and the cacophony of mass hysteria. ARTAUD3000 is a performance that is as cosmic as it is intimate, in which the body speaks, the mind breathes, and the heart thinks—an unpolished and unpredictable paean to the irrational. A crazy, whimsical, (multi)lingual, and visual movement performance. Anti-intellectual, physical, and intuitive. A much-needed antidote in polished times.
Bindervoet’s MAMA DADA was nominated for two awards: performer Elvis de Launay for the Theo d’Or for most boundary-pushing stage performance and costume designer Carmen Schabracq for the very first Ontwerpersprijs.
