Description
18th century barber-surgeons, Louis XIV’s painful fistula, courtly morning rituals, the bizarre diaper fashion of the aristocrats and the castle’s beloved orange tree garden converge in a theatrical fantasy of the divine and profane. Inspired by the Sun King Louis XIV’s court, the working group mirrors their own societal pain points in the sun-king’s golden splendor. Playful approach to historical accuracy. Co-directed by Jussi Sorjanen and Sinna Virtanen. Cooperation between fashion designer Janette Laakso, light designer Jenni Pystynen, sound designer Tatu Nenonen and the cast at Viirus theatre. Visually lavish with imaginatively recreated costume drama and scenography clad in mirrors and gold.
