Το παράτησα το μπλογκ, αλλά πρέπει να σας πω ότι έχω εξετάσεις και δεν προλαβαίνω. Σήμερα όμως διάβασα ότι πέθανε ένας σπουδαίος σκηνοθέτης του ευρωπαϊκού θεάτρου, ο Κλάους Μίκαελ Γκρίμπερ, σε ηλικία μόλις 67 ετών.
Born in 1941, Grüber studied acting and was assistant to Giorgio Strehler at the Piccolo Teatro in Milano where he directed his first stage production in 1967, Brecht’s ‘Trial of Jeanne d’Arc.’ Since that time he has worked all over Europe as one of its foremost “experimental” stage and opera directors. Two of his most memorable exploits were a ‘Faust’ in the Paris Salpêtrière (1975) where the audience had to walk around the building to look at the different scenes and a Hölderlin (’Winterreise’) in the Olympic stadium of Berlin (1977). His productions, most of which have been concerned with the classics, have had a penchant for the somber, tragic, mystical and visionary. However, with Labiche’s ‘The Rue de Lourcine Affair’ (1988, Berlin Schaubühne) he also had a great success in the lighter vein.
