It includes fragments from the Book of Dances and Come! And the Day will be Ours by Odin Teatret, as well as Yanomami dances and the shaman's enactment of his tribal legend about the tortoise which killed the jaguar. 20 October {Thu} 6 pm Admission free Cinema Room, Grotowski Institute / 27 Rynek-Ratusz Ascent to the Sea Odin Teatret 1982 | dir. Torgeir Wethal | 36’ The film follows Odin Teatret's street production Anabasis in Peru. It is a typical example of Odin Teatret's unique use of the urban environment as a theatrical space. In order to be seen amongst the crowd, the actors began to use tall stilts. In order to be heard they used drums and trumpets. 27 October {Thu} 6 pm Admission free Cinema Room, Grotowski Institute / 27 Rynek-Ratusz On the Two Banks of the River Odin Teatret 1978 | dir. Torgeir Wethal | 56’ The film, which shows how the group managed to play their performances and come into contact with people in spite of the restrictive conditions, is essentially about the strategy of insubordination by means of theatre. Odin Teatret is seen training in a slum, organising parades in Indian villages and performing in an Ayacucho prison. Some people invited Odin Teatret who agreed to perform on condition the local people accepted a barter: they should also show something of theirs. |
