A man speaks to a stranger who never answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this new staging of Kolt\u00e8s\u2019s text, Robin Ormond continues his exploration of spoken address and modern solitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Michael W\u00e4chter<\/strong>, he creates a dialogue with emptiness \u2014 a physical and emotional journey between fear, desire and the need to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActor Michael W\u00e4chter and director Robin Ormond have brought Kolt\u00e8s\u2019s The Night Just Before the Forests right into the city \u2013 into trams, streets, train stations and down to the Isar.
The result is a poetic drift that dissolves the solid reality of the metropolis.
[\u2026] It creates an aesthetic of the precarious \u2013 light as blossom dust, and sometimes painful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat a theatre experience!
Walking through Munich with headphones that pour a stranger\u2019s voice into your ears and mind \u2014 suddenly you experience the city as he does, with all its sounds, moods and ghosts.
[\u2026] A heartfelt applause for Michael W\u00e4chter\u2019s magnificently lost soul
\u2014 and for Robin Ormond\u2019s idea to stage Kolt\u00e8s\u2019s text as drama to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
