Vidro Pantera: the new co-creation by Alma d’Arame and Teatro de Ferro
On the 30th anniversary of the German dramaturg’s death, we decided to create a show-visit-blitzkrieg to the universe of Heiner Müller. Fragments of his poetry and theatre will enliven bodies, spaces, objects, masks and even puppets. Aristocrats and dictators, soldiers, lovers, the living and the dead will engage in a dialogue with major figures from European mythology and culture in a East-West tension that H.M. knew so well how to synthesise. Vidro Pantera is a show made up of shards, of pieces of text, and on this jagged and kaleidoscopic journey we end up discovering a Müller who is both author and actor in the dramas he wrote and lived.
