The modern character of the stageing derives out of the esentialization of the topic; baroque- style approaches don’t have a place here any longer. The dramatic depth remains: firm, contoured. The performance shapes up as an essay about the human condition and the condition of the artist, about old and new, about life and death, all on the edge separating madness from normality.
