Get used to the director of the scene in question Christoph Marthaler (Erlenbach, 1951) play with social criticism through a masterful mastery of absurdity and ambiguity. There are no names or appeals to whoever puts this great representative of the European theater on the stage, but there are few direct accusations, but yes, in the heavens we have a certain feeling of the culprits of the global problems ahí fuera, and we know very well that they are. An arrow is really a stick until it separates, just like when it is thrown.
Let’s look at it with a clear example in the montage made in Munich in 2018 Tiefer Schweb (Deep immersion), in which we see a group of officials of an indeterminate government retreat to Lake Constance, the depths of which they emerge with a goal and outcome that will never be entirely clear.
It is the Marthaler saddle that repeats itself again TheSummit (Cucumber)the last work director Helvetico, with whom he climbs the Teatros del Canal on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April and before that, for the finale of 2025, we can see him in Temporada Alta de Girona.
We will meet you on this occasion the elite who live in a sort of mountain retreat. We realize again why this group of people likes the alpine explorers on the old habit in this specific place. Algo tells us that they are now for some type of crisis in which they have a decisive paper, but Marthaler, his commitment to the virtues of ambiguity, will of course not lead to confirmation of our suspicions.
Starting from there, the viewer expects them a list of random scenarios where mismatch will be the absolute king and the absurdity will live with you too. From an anachronistic mountain scene, six characters change into gala attire and, yes, come to sleep in the dark to enjoy what appears to be a sauna in the same cabin.
Misunderstanding in Babel
According to the title of this work, the highest point of the mountain can mean both the highest point of the mountain and the center of the highest spheres of different countries to solve another problem. Ahí están las different cumbres del clima, las del G7 o las del G20, por poner varios ejemplos. Lo que always in doubt, and it is true that it is connected with some keen heart for other mortals and if so, he will fulfill it as well as all concerned.
Marthaler is part of this double meaning To launch into this space, I would look for an elite that will cut off communication and make it difficult to reach any kind of consensus. And that is by addressing six actors of different nationalities, whose dialogues will be in different languages (Italian, German, English and French). AND totum revolutum linguistically, in which we find a more or less veiled indication of the inability of the European Union to resolve any common point between all parties.
The misunderstanding in which the work with the dramaturgy of Malte Ubenauf wants to be heard by the public can be a large part of the dialogues that will not count on sobretítulos.
