Robert Wilson’s tempest of light, sound and movement turns the stage into a fantastic twilight zone. A master of visual language, Wilson incorporates every movement, every shadow, every sound into one gigantic composition with a touch of absurdity. Wilson, who died in 2025, was a pioneer of experimental theatre who presented his works at the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) several times throughout the years. This may be the last opportunity to experience a production by the iconic theatre director. Together with 16 energetic actors of the National Theatre in Sofia, Bulgaria, Wilson turned the classic Shakespeare play about power, revenge and forgiveness into a celebration of the senses that draws the audience right into the eye of the storm.
