Théâtre du Châtelet, March 31, 2010
I couldn't resist the temptation and went to see the premiere of
Treemonisha, even though I had a train for Stuttgart to catch very early next morning...
Since my
previous post on Treemonisha something unpleasant must have happened at the Châtelet to explain the fact that the name of the director
Mark Dornford-May was dropped out from the program.
Blanca Li, who was originally supposed to be in charge of choreography, ends up directing the whole show, with a help of a french artist
[Roland Roure] who basically drew a few sketches that were video-projected on the stage thus providing the background images for the show.
