Is Vinegar Water Safe For Pregnant Dogs

Anna Karenina - A theater review





So like the great theater of this city go into the summer break, and I have my blog and let stand for a while - and I travel the time to be sick and do nothing displaced.

celebrated on Thursday a new piece in the National Theatre premiere and rang the 2010-11 season one: "Anna Karenina" directed by Frank Abbot on a novel by Tolstoy.

A man throws himself under a train, a family left behind. Who is the stranger, you do not know, but the beautiful Anna Karenina (Barbara novels) will he do at the end of the piece the same.

She is on her way to her brother (Torsten Kindermann) and his betrayed wife Dasha (Xenia Tiling) than the counts Wronskji (Robin Sondermann) scores - you will not remember each other, or does it?

see because soon the two fall in love again, is - remains, lonely and hurt, Kitty (Kristina Pauls) let the younger sister Dasha, who sit their friend Lewin (Stefan Ruppe) for the eternal bachelor has Wornskji.

But the love between Anna and Count on it is no easier than thought, because at home there is a man (Friedrich Mücke) and an eight-year-old son.

Anna, torn between the family and lovers, is finally pregnant, must decide to leave son and husband for a common Live with Vronsky.

are thus not solved the problems, they begin erst.

The conflicts of the individual figures, which are now clearly staged a abbot Frank for the flashy folk theater, usually so unusual, but interesting way: Suddenly, the talk

Characters in the 3rd Person about themselves - just as if they were the main character of her own life novel, as if indeed they are, the felt all this, but only in a fiction. Likewise, the players are set to even the words of other roles in the mouth, creating an additional authenticity, especially when it comes to the very young Kitty and her broken heart.
But unfortunately, turns not only the stage but also the events around this other: The beautiful, fresh, wonderful Anna - Barbara Romaner knows how to love their hunger, depict their despair. "Pull me out of the dress," she asks, but the lover does not. And so she remains confused back with all her confusion and her love. The result for the viewer the image of a graceful, aging, desperate woman - actually an atypical role for the novel, which in most parts but has more youthful. Nevertheless, they mastered the acting challenge.



Stefan Ruppe also shows his skills in this piece: The Lewin he doubts everything, especially but the existence of God, and that these doubts are written to him in the face. He thinks too much for Kitty, and even if his last but still leads to the altar, farther you feel it - the doubt.

with worry, anxiety, anger, love, hate, the ensemble is sliding in the second half on a sheet of ice - one could almost my life slip on the slick floor and fell into the eyes of the viewer into a depression, hardships and fears.
Conclusion: Even if the piece can take root in his Russian-style, perhaps before the start of the panic in the audience, they would crush the gravity and seriousness, is Abts Staging tragic, but somehow still nice and light. However, anyone who is looking for a classic sharp, colorful, crazy people theater performance that will leave this subtle kind of drama unsatisfied.
