forumfestwochen ff "Life.Not a Dream."

(Wiener Festwochen)

09 May 2007 - 22 June 2007 The seven productions in the forumfestwochen series bring together fact and fiction with both real and invented lives to form a contemporary panorama of individual biographies and subjective attitudes. Crescentia Dünßer's Hamburg production of Modern Death reveals the lengths that enforced rationalization and a pathological fear of old age and death may bring society to. The Korean American Young Jean Lee takes a sharp and witty look at relationships and ethnic difference. Indian theatre maker Arjun Raina reveals the proximity of different sides of the globe and opposite ends of the economic spectrum in a series of late night phone calls. The young Parisians Le d'ores et déjà tell Brecht's story of Baal like a desolate road movie about a contemporary rock star. German duo Auftrag : Lorey accompany Vienna residents searching for the subconscious of their own city. Das Beckwerk from Denmark follow the echo of despair that geopolitics leaves behind in individual lives around the world. And Czech company Farm in the Cave show migration to be a journey from somewhere to nowhere. Kierkegaard once said, "Life may be lived forwards, but it is always understood backwards." forumfestwochen's crab-like progress offers a wealth of forms, subjects and pleasures.
