Part Two "Caesarian Section" Section Two Caesarean Section develops the group's work with polyphony and its aim to create theatre out of the spirit of music. The musical structure of this performance was developed from a base of polyphonic Corsican songs, through which Bulgarian, Romanian, Icelandic and Chechen songs have been woven. The title of the performance is a metaphor for the compulsion towards and the condition of suicide, and the involuntary force that pulls one back from the brink.
The Festival is proud to present the northern California debut of Teatr Zar the resident company at the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw, Poland. "The Gospels of Childhood Triptych" is the culmination of artistic director, Jaroslaw Fret and the company's more than 10 years of investigative research and development into ancient sacred songs. It is a seminal work that also builds on the nearly half a century of teaching and exploration conducted by Jerzy Grotowski. The company emulates Grotowski's ethos of ensemble work and develops its productions through a long process of creating its own theatrical language. A language that, like Grotowski's in the last years of his life, utilizes Eastern Orthodox music as a source for the creation of a performance that seeks to recreate the very roots of theatre itself.
