Théophile Choquet

(recorded and streamed on 26 April, 2021)

Do you know Antonin Artaud (1896 – 1948)? We neither, and we don’t pretend to. With Théophile we try to circle around this very special figure in theatre history – as a visionary for theatre, philosophy, virtual reality, radio plays; and as a tragic figure, plagued by disease and misfortune.

Before that, we also speak again briefly on Jean-Claude Carriére and discover his true humanism.

The rest is silence. And books to read:

Theophile recommends by Antonin Artaud
The Theatre and Its Double
Love letters
Van Gogh: The Man Suicided by Society

Marije recommends
Alchemists of the Stage, Mirella Schino

Linda Cunningham

(recorded and streamed on March 8, 2021)

A very bifurcating conversation with Linda Cunningham, containing: Ambiguity, #InternationalWomensDay, Real Emancipation vs. Emancipation as Brand, Privileges, Greenwashing, Power, the Daughters of Dún Iascaigh, Relation, Theatre, Linguistics, Reality, Rhythm, Suspension, Music.

In the end we discover and reject “Thinginess”, and speculate why we don’t respect Mystery anymore.
