Johann Sebastian Bach, Romeo Castellucci La Passione: Matthäus Passion
The recently refurbished hall for contemporary art at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg is the setting for visually stunning music theater with star cast: Romeo Castellucci, one of the most important European theater artists, stages Johann Sebastian Bach s St. Matthew Passion. Kent Nagano, General Music Director of the Hamburg State Opera, is the musical director. Castellucci s performances move in the border area between theater, installation and performance. He researches the interactions between the image and the viewer. At the center of his work is the meaningful and identitycreating power of images in our western culture.
