Dorian / Dresden

  • Staatsschauspiel Dresden 2 Theaterstraße Dresden, SN, 01067 Deutschland (map)

Painter Francis Bacon catches George Dyer red-handed breaking into his artist studio. Instead of calling the police, he paints his portrait. The two become a couple. - Painter Basil Hallward is obsessed with his model Dorian Gray. Gray wishes the painting would age instead of him. - Poet Oscar Wilde is the darling of London Society - until he is sent to prison for "indecent relations" with his lover Alfred Douglas.

Darryl Pinckney's text and Robert Wilson’s production of Dorian weave these three stories into an associative narrative flow, overlapping memories, reflections and feelings.

Performed in German.
