2/10 - A Deconstructed Tragedy OR Penthesilea / Der Abend nach dem Begräbnis der besten Freundin

at the Schauspielhaus Graz, by Heinrich von Kleist / Marlene Streeruwitz, directed by Franz-Xaver Mayr

A brief (long) moment from

Another realm

Roses

@ Schauspielhaus Graz | Ruiz Cruz

Red blue and gold

Kings

Queens

Two armies

Two souls

And a lot of flowers

Roses to be exact

Eternal

(Or not?)

Desire(s)

Gone wrong

(Or not?)

Artemis or Diana

Allegiances

To whom?

All gone wrong

Long empty talks

Empty long words

Decisions?

All take too long!

@ Schauspielhaus Graz | Ruiz Cruz

And the Roses

In all possible colours

In all shapes and forms

But

For what?

And why?

Thunder storm and cries

Hungry howling hounds

Hunting. Barking. Lusting

Impeding creeping death

Nothing one can do about that

Fire. Fires. Flames.

Smell of burnt

Iron and flesh

Bodies lie ahead

A string, a bow, a shot

A fatal hit and hounds

Finish what once was found

What was once found

In the blink of an eye

And felt throughout

One’s body

@ Schauspielhaus Graz | Ruiz Cruz

A body

A delirium

An ended cause

Red gold and black

The song of death

@ Schauspielhaus Graz | Ruiz Cruz
