Theater the hard way: The famous German director Christoph Schlingensief, who died in 2010 and was honored a year later with the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, was on the verge of becoming a recalcitrant state artist in 2003. When he staged Elfriede Jelinek’s Bambiland at the Burgtheater in Vienna and the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, he went beyond his personal limits.
Paul Poet, a friend and companion of Schlingensief, has assembled a provocative tribute out of fragments of a second cinema documentary that fell through at the time.
