Flying Chariots" at the Théâtre du Soleil: a tragicomic farce between Brecht and Shakespeare
The five dynamic actors are spurred on by the minimalist, ever-changing sets, clearly influenced by Mnouchkine*. As the subtle instrumental music sets the pace, the scenes unfold, shifting from a private moment to the confined space of an asylum where the protagonist shares his life with Shankar, a peculiar character caught in a repetitive cycle, superbly played by Maya S. Krishnan. This "tragicomedy of righteousness" combines the serious and the absurd, playfully alluding to Brecht and Shakespeare, while remaining steadfast in its exploration of how to mitigate misfortune.
*Ariane Mnouchkine (French: [aʁjan nuʃkin] is a French stage director. She founded the Parisian avant-garde stage ensemble Théâtre du Soleil in 1964.
