Attention: This Video Contains Fragments of Caligula

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play Caligula directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski (Schauspiel Stuttgart, premiere: 15.03.2014). His interpretations of the text by Albert Camus and the figure of the protagonist were affected by the decision to cast actress Astrid Meyerfeldt as Caligula. In her rendition, the Emperor is sober and sublime to an extent which, in the critic's opinion, might give viewers a sense of horror. The performance takes the form of a live film. Another important part is played by the rap performed live by Mereia (one of the few characters capable of revolt) based on the anarchist writings of Friedrich Nietzsche. All of these tactics make Garbaczewski's play primarily a formal experiment, a spectacular show of the capabilities of contemporary theater.
