Details

This tale of a doctor accused of killing his wife was banned on its debut in Soviet Russia. Bluebeard is about a very ordinary doctor who is on trial for the murder of his sixth wife. Since Doctor Schaad is not entirely sure of his innocence, the play charts his attempts to remember what happened on the day of the murder. As the pressure mounts, events from his past blend into reality, confronting the audience with the fragile relationship between memory and perception. pirateutopia.org play with live and recorded action as the actor performs against and interacts with live-mixed video projection to create this challenging and moving piece adapted by pirateutopia.org from the novella by Max Frisch.
