Amor Fati Or someone must well be responsible for something!

Théâtre du Balèti

Montreuil/France

---

Company
In the year 2011, Maxime Franzetti and a group of young actors in Paris founded theThéâtre du Balèti. Today, it comprises fifteen actors, for whom the collective creative process is of central importance. Physicality, text and music, the influences of Oriental theatre and a combination of different theatrical media and art forms aim to produce theatre in all its dimensions – a Volkstheater (People’s Theatre) in the best sense of the word.

Performance
A farewell to the crucifix? The Redeemer seems to have finally redeemed himself. But soon he is forced to experience how, in a self-infatuated world, humanity slowly degenerates into price and cost factors. Amor Fati depicts a bitter, evil image of society, and is at the same time a wild satyr, passion and mystery play set around a man – a seeker of meaning, a fool and a rebel – who fights for belief and instinct in equal measure. Somewhere between techno club and beer tent, orgiastic angels and false gods, kitschy crooners and church hymns, Amor Fati presents theatre on a grand scale. The intensive physicality of the actors, the dialogue scenes, the choir and choreographic tableaux as well as a brass band narrate, in mosaic form, a story about the greatness and fall of man.
