Bertolt Brecht is an emblematic theatremaker and drama theoretician of the 20th Century. In his poetic piece, Baal, he discusses art and the destructive power of love.
According to the mythology, Baal is a god symbolizing complete life. In Brecht’s work he is a lonely and rebellious artist, who breaks moral norms and thus becomes an enemy of society.
Baal inspired artists like David Bowie and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
In the Vígszínház’s production József Wunderlich plays the leading role, and Márk Ember plays Ekart.
Director-choreographer Csaba Horváth addresses the audience in the language of music, dance and movement.
The licence of Bertolt Brecht’s heirs was conveyed by Suhrkamp Verlag AG (Berlin) and Hofra Kft.
