coriolan review

  « he stopp‘d the fliers
and by his rare example made the coward
turn terror into sport. »

a quote taken from shakespeare’s tragedy «coriolanus», in which political interests, order systems, rules, rhetoric, limbs, concepts of bodies and state collide. city – streets – forum – capitol – camps - battlefields. patricians – plebeians - the people’s representatives, senators; soldiers, officers, heroes. entertainment, revue and tap-dancing as an uprising in the city.

«turn terror into sport» is inspired by busby berkeleys cinematic musicals of the 30s. brilliant entertainment turns into military synchronicity.

100 participants, 6 tap-dance teachers, 6 actors, 1000 spectators. a massive rhythmical intervention within the public space of the city.

«turn terror into sport»: citizens of vienna rehearsing rebellion. conceived as production module, the tap-dancing mass choreography was material for and public preview to shakespeare’s coriolan, which became the second part of the theatrical series tragödienproduzenten by theatercombinat. the insurgency of the street seized the halls of «thepalace» and became an element of the subsequent performance.
