Moviegoers Rave About Thrilling Film: The Silence
In the heart of Berlin, from May 1-5, audiences will be captivated by the German production of "The Silence", a powerful and moving play by Falk Richter, performed at Schaubühne. English surtitles will be available, making it accessible to a wider audience.
The play, a theatrical tour de force, is autofictional and delves into Richter's childhood outside of Hamburg, exploring the silence that stood between him and the world. Dimitrij Schaad, in an astounding performance, portrays Richter, delivering a monologue that is as impassioned as it is thought-provoking.
Schaad's Richter strains towards a totalising significance, linking "the silence" to Richter's familial relationships, current relationship, and an adolescent relationship. The monologue also grapples with the topic of sex, making for a compelling and sometimes challenging narrative.
The audience is struck by how completely Schaad had transformed during the performance, with each word and gesture resonating with raw emotion. After the performance, Schaad received thunderous applause from the sold-out house, a testament to the power of his performance.
As the monologue unfolds, time is not linear, creating a unique theatrical experience. Projected clips from interviews with Richter's actual mother punctuate the performance, adding a layer of authenticity to the narrative.
While the play may make it difficult for the audience to untangle the reality from the fiction, it serves as a submerged love letter to Richter's limited mother. Richter's own sexuality is a topic in the monologue, adding another layer of complexity to the narrative.
It's worth noting that Falk Richter is not only the writer and director of the play but also the director and screenwriter for the film "The Silence", directed by Martin Scorsese. This connection adds an interesting dimension to the play, as audiences may recognise elements from the film in the performance.
Richter's mother lived as the "other woman" for a decade, and was under household surveillance. His father had experiences during World War II, adding a historical context to the narrative.
In conclusion, "The Silence" is a must-see for anyone seeking a thought-provoking, emotionally charged theatrical experience. With its powerful performance by Dimitrij Schaad and its exploration of Richter's personal history, it promises to be a transformative piece of theatre. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to witness "The Silence" at Schaubühne from May 1-5.
