The Origen Festival Program 2014

 

 

In its year of Charlemagne the Origen Festival trods on fresh ground, ignoring traditional ways of celebrating a ten-year jubilee. Looking at the thousands of portraits of Charlemagne that have been created in the course of the past millennium, we realise that every epoch has had its own Carolus, that every era interprets this legendary figure in its own way.

 

In the twenty-first centuy we do the same, and we depict Charlemagne as a ruthless warlord and a caring father, a bizarre king of baths and an eager cultural reformer, a canonised adulterer and a mythical ruler figure at whose death the sun was eclipsed and bridges collapsed. We set out to find the human essence in Charlemagne, to reinvent him for the stage, fresh and unorthodox, as legend has been doing all along, always on the lookout for the grain of truth that lies in the search itself.
