Zitat des Tages von Tim Crouch:
Each of my Shakespeare pieces is different to the other, but each espouses a set of philosophies common to all my theatre work.
It's important to find characters that share sympathy with a young audience, not just in the story but their role in the world.
Anything one can do to provoke and inspire an interest in the works of Shakespeare in a young audience is fair game. Anything.
'I, Malvolio' is a very, very funny show, a clown show, but there is Beckettian darkness in the character. Some real darkness, some right close to the edge of despair moments.
I'm attracted to the underrated characters.
As actors, we do our best to keep things light and to encourage in the audience an openness to the changing atoms in the room.
'The Author' is a play about responsibility, how active we are as spectators and how responsible we are for what we choose to look at.
Unease is not an emotion I get often in the theatre, and I like it.
Uncertainty is a very good thing: it's the beginning of an investigation, and the investigation should never end.
Keeping young people away from Shakespeare is like removing a link to their humanness.
Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art.
Children and teenagers don't easily relate to stories about kings and dukes, and to tell only stories about kings and dukes is to ignore the regular people.
I am particularly interested in creating a relationship between ideas of reception in conceptual art and theater.
Art is a subjective thing, and it should be a subjective thing. And the difficulty of subjectivity is that it becomes hugely problematized when you start applying large sums of money to art objects. That's where it all starts to get a bit sticky.
In 'Malvolio,' the audience laugh at me, and I use that laughter to crack open the question as to why they are laughing.
'Malvolio' is the one show of mine that will not die. I've performed it more than 200 times all over the place.
