Die Seherinnen
The Desirees - A Dance Theatre Piece
Premiere on 28 September 2020 at 8 pm at Theaterhaus Stuttgart T3.
Further performances: 29 and 30 September at 8 pm each.
The new production by JV & Team deals with desire as an existential condition of being human. Inspired by Denis Diderot's dialogical rambling novel "Jacques the Fatalist and his Master", in which the servant binds his master to himself by recounting adventures in love, we question the way desire is dealt with today, in a neoliberal, enlightened and consumerist society.
"Dear Lord, one spends three quarters of one's life wanting without acting".
(Denis Diderot, "Jacques the Fatalist and His Master" Winkler Verlag, Munich. 1979)
What does dealing with desire look like today in a neoliberal, enlightened and consumerist society? From Diderot's novel "Jacques the Fatalist and his Master" we take the dialogical novel structure, which is characterised by direct speeches to the readers. Analogous to the active servant Jacques and his master, who believes in free will but is passive, we develop contemporary attitudes to existence.
