Event Chur
TELL by Joachim B. Schmidt
Description
Why only another William Tell – and why does he have to go on stage? Because Schmidt's "Tell" not only looks into the characters, but almost out of them! Wilhelm, Walter, Gertrud, Gessler, Harras: they all tell from their perspective the episode of their lives that has occupied Switzerland for 800 years now. It's so immediate and strong that you root for and sympathize with every character. Even Gessler – if the sensitive Habsburg finds it difficult to stand it in the foehn-plagued Uri region with its coarse freedom trychlers, then we sympathize. How to implement the whole thing? With strong, drawn images, with 3-D masquerading shadow play, with Uri and Habsburg voices, with large Central Swiss masks, with non-dancing dancers, with music that transcends epochs!
