The sky is black, the earth is blue.
(Jurij Gagarin)
I am convinced the man is the solitary being.
(Gabriel G. Marquez) |
| In the Solitude
of the Cotton Fields deals with the life of the people who live in
shadows, on the edge, in the night. Their conscience and their expression,
their sexuality and gentleness go outside of the rational currents of official
culture. The desperation of everyday life, the thirstiness and the hate
in the violence and hurting, the racism are the subjects of Koltes’ writing.
The heroes know about the impossibility of love, the exchange and the solitude
which flow through them and are slowly killing them. Their will to live
is great eventhough they are judged, their passion is very strong and there
is a disagreement in the lucidity of the despair. Koltes’ heroes are not
ashamed of the cries that painfully tear them apart in the endless solitude.
They recognize the announced death staring into the sex and the impossible.
Koltes’ theatre is a theatre of dealing, exchanging. It is about drugs,
guns, sex, identity of sexes. Nick Upper’s performance insists on the deal
being a wheel of civilization’s progress and its self-destruction |
