Centro Cultural de Belém Belém · Lisbon

Lisaboa Houbrechts adapts Hermann Hesse's novel Siddhartha into a stage polyphony crossing theatre, classical singing, pop improvisation, Sufi songs and Indian dance, with music by Caroline Shaw performed by a 24-member choir and Meskerem Mees in the lead role.

Full details

Synopsis Accessibility: Audio-described performance on 31 January at 17h. Shielded from all suffering, Siddhartha sees his life defined from the very beginning. Yet an inner voice leads him to set off in search of another destiny. Along his journey, he is confronted with different experiences until he finds meaning in the contradictions of human existence. The character created by Hermann Hesse does not correspond to the historical Buddha, but rather to a man traversed by doubts, frailties and desires. With Hesse's novel in his pocket, Lisaboa Houbrechts, one of the most relevant directors on the contemporary international scene, reconnected with India during the pandemic. In her adaptation of Siddhartha, she builds a stage polyphony that brings together arts and cultures, reinvents characters and questions gender roles. The protagonist is performed by singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees. Structured around the music of composer Caroline Shaw, performed by a choir of 24 members, SIDDHARTHA crosses theatre, classical singing, pop improvisation, Sufi songs and Indian dance, composing a performative universe marked by a diversity of languages and references. SIDDHARTA is a production of Toneelhuis Antwerp and KVS Brussels, in co-production with Ruhrtriennale, Dailes Theatre Latvia and Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. «To seek means to have a goal. But to find means to be free, to stay open, to have no goal.» Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse ARTISTIC CREDITS Concept, Libretto and Direction Lisaboa Houbrechts Based on the work of Hermann Hesse Composition Caroline Shaw Musical Direction Christian Balvig With Meskerem Mees, Shantala Shivalingappa, Claron McFadden, Oumar Dicko, Lisaboa Houbrechts / Milena Miškevica, Casper Clausen, Samuel Mariño and Zila Khan Choir Latvian Radio Choir (from Riga), made up of 24 members, under the direction of Kaspars Putninš: Aldis Andersons, Iveta Apine, Jekabs Bernats, Rudolfs Bertinš, Emils Gilucs-Lacis, Ilona Dzerve Talute, Gundars Dzilums, Nora Kalnina, Janis Kokins, Ilze Konovalova, Gundega Krumina, Janis Kurševs, Lauma Malnace, Inga Martinsone, Agnese Paunina, Daniels Pelnens, Agate Pooka, Jurgis Rats, Vitalijs Stankevics, Dace Strautmane, Vilhelms Vacietis, Inita Vindava, Shino Yamasaki and Serhii Zadorozhny Original Vocal Compositions, Voice and Harmonium UstadMa Zila Khan Soundscape Casper Clausen Soundscape Assistant Brecht Beuselinck Additional Recordings Audrey Chen (Voice), Gaspar Claus (Cello), Jon Birdsong (Brass), Markus Müller (Nebula Instruments) and André Gonçalves (ADDAC) Musical Dramaturgy Anna Chernomordik Set Design Sammy van den Heuvel Costumes Oumar Dicko Lighting Design Fabiana Piccioli Set and Costume Production Toneelhuis Direction Assistance Internship Teuntje Wolters Movement Consultancy Laura Neyskens Set Design Internship Aak van Zessen English Translation Martine Bom Production Direction Kristien Borgers and Katinka De Belder Technical Production Direction Diederik Suykens and Filip Timmerman Sound Engineering Jeroen Kenens Lighting Engineering Lies van Loock Set Engineering Ward Van Den Bossche and Victor Boni Wardrobe Kathleen Van Mechelen and Monique Van Hassel Costume Execution Costume Atelier Toneelhuis (Esther Reijnen, Tanya Maldonado

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse Acessibilidade: Espetáculo com Audiodescrição no dia 31 de janeiro, às 17h. Protegido de todo o sofrimento, Siddhartha vê a sua vida definida desde o início. Porém, uma voz interior leva-o a partir em busca de outro destino. Ao longo da sua viagem, confronta-se com diferentes experiências até encontrar sentido nas contradições da existência humana. A personagem criada por Hermann Hesse não corresponde ao Buda histórico, mas antes a um homem atravessado por dúvidas, fragilidades e desejos. Com o romance de Hesse no bolso, Lisaboa Houbrechts, uma das mais relevantes encenadoras da cena internacional contemporânea, reencontrou-se na Índia durante a pandemia. Na sua adaptação de Sidarta , constrói uma polifonia cénica que aproxima artes e culturas, reinventa personagens e questiona papéis de género. A protagonista é interpretada pela cantora e compositora Meskerem Mees. Estruturado em torno da música da compositora Caroline Shaw, interpretada por um coro de 24 elementos, SIDDHARTHA cruza teatro, canto erudito, improvisação pop, canções sufis e dança indiana, compondo um universo performativo marcado pela diversidade de linguagens e referências. SIDDHARTA é uma produção do Toneelhuis Antwerp e KVS Brussels, em coprodução com Ruhrtriennale, Dailes Theatre Latvia e Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. «Procurar significa ter um objetivo. Mas encontrar significa ser livre, manter-se aberto, não ter objetivos.» Siddhartha , de Herman Hesse FICHA ARTÍSTICA Conceito, Libreto e Encenação Lisaboa Houbrechts A partir da obra de Hermann Hesse Composição Caroline Shaw Direção Musical Christian Balvig Com Meskerem Mees , Shantala Shivalingappa , Claron McFadden , Oumar Dicko , Lisaboa Houbrechts / Milena Miškevica , Casper Clausen , Samuel Mariño e Zila Khan Coro Latvian Radio Choir (de Riga), composto por 24 elementos, sob direção de Kaspars Putninš: Aldis Andersons , Iveta Apine , Jekabs Bernats , Rudolfs Bertinš , Emils Gilucs-Lacis , Ilona Dzerve Talute , Gundars Dzilums , Nora , Kalnina , Janis Kokins , Ilze Konovalova , Gundega Krumina , Janis Kurševs , Lauma Malnace , Inga Martinsone , Agnese Paunina , Daniels Pelnens , Agate Pooka , Jurgis Rats , Vitalijs Stankevics , Dace Strautmane , Vilhelms Vacietis , Inita Vindava , Shino Yamasaki e Serhii Zadorozhny Composições Vocais Originais, Voz e Harmónio UstadMa Zila Khan Paisagem Sonora Casper Clausen Assistente de Paisagem Sonora Brecht Beuselinck Gravações Adicionais Audrey Chen (Voz), Gaspar Claus (Violoncelo), Jon Birdsong (Metais), Markus Müller (Instrumentos Nebula) e André Gonçalves (ADDAC) Dramaturgia Musical Anna Chernomordik Cenografia Sammy van den Heuvel Figurinos Oumar Dicko Desenho de Luz Fabiana Piccioli Produção de Cenografia e Figurinos Toneelhuis Estágio de Assistência à Direção Teuntje Wolters Consultoria de Movimento Laura Neyskens Estágio de Cenografia Aak van Zessen Tradução para Inglês Martine Bom Direção de Produção Kristien Borgers e Katinka De Belder Direção de Produção Técnica Diederik Suykens e Filip Timmerman Engenharia de Som Jeroen Kenens Engenharia de Luz Lies van Loock Engenharia de Cenografia Ward Van Den Bossche e Victor Boni Guarda-Roupa Kathleen Van Mechelen e Monique Van Hassel Execução de Figurinos Costume Atelier Toneelhuis ( Esther Reijnen , Tanya Maldonado , Liezelot Osselaer , Kathleen Van Mechelen e Monique Van Hassel ), Costume Atelier Dailes Theatris, em Riga, e PXL MAD School of Arts / Frederik Aerts Construção de Cenografia Decoratelier Toneelhuis ( Niels Antonissen , Chris Reijnen , Luk Willekens e Patrick Jacobs ) Legendagem Katinka De Belder e Erik Borgman Assistência à Legendagem Luka Swinnen Produção Toneelhuis e KVS Coprodução Ruhrtriennale , Dailes Theatre , Internationaal Theater Amsterdam e Centro Cultural de Belém Produção Executiva Toneelhuis Com o Apoio de Tax Shelter do Governo Federal Belga , através da Gallop Tax Shelter , e Riga Investment and Tourism Agency Agradecimentos Opera Ballet Vlaanderen e hetpaleis SIDDHARTHA Um
