Lech Majewski - The Black Rider

Paul Gude 12/21/071:27 PM

During our interview, Lech Majewski spoke a bit about his work on a re-mount of The Black Rider, a "musical fable" about a man who makes a deal with the devil to win the heart of the woman he loves. As one can guess, things do not turn out as intended.

In this clip Lech Majewski describes the secret behind a stunning effect from the production.

Majewski's version of this postmodernist opera by Bob Wilson, Tom Waits and William S. Burroughs won him a German Theatre award ("Killianpreis") for the best direction and was praised by German critics as "a true mastery" (Stuttgarter Zeitung), "magnificent, hypnotic spectacle" (Stimme), and a "breathtaking journey into the unknown" (Rundblick).

A German overview of Lech Majewski's production of The Black Rider can be seen here.

This is an outtake from my Lech Majewski interview.
