Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Barbican (Londres - Angleterre) Salle : TheatreDurée : Nombre : Première Preview : lundi 17 mai 2004Première : vendredi 21 mai 2004Dernière : samedi 19 juin 2004Mise en scène : Bob Wilson • Chorégraphie : Producteur : Avec : Matt McGrath (Wilhelm), Mary Margaret O’Hara (Kathchen), Marianne Faithfull (Pegleg), Dean Robinson (Bertram), Jack Willis, Monika Tahal, Gabrielle Santinelli, Nigel Richards, Richard Strange, Sona Cervena, Jake Thornton, Janet Henfrey.Commentaires : Based on the German folktale which had been used in Weber’s opera, “Der Freischutz”, this version was a collaboration between theatre director Robert Wilson, musician Tom Waits, and the writer William Burroughs. It contains strong autobiographical elements from Burroughs' real life: he accidentally shot his own wife in a drunken attempt at recreating the William Tell legend. The premiere was in Hamburg in March 1990, and an English language version had played Canada in 1998 and New York in 1999. The 1993 album, with its mixture of Kurt Weill-type operatic and avant-garde sounds was highly successful. This London production, with its quasi-Japanese Kabuki staging, trapezes, symbolism and stylised settings, was the prelude to a world tour, later moving to San Francisco and Sydney. Due to ill health, Marianne Faithfull was forced to withdraw from the production in Australia and her understudy Nigel Richards filled the part.
An updated version of a 19th Century story of a clerk who makes a Faustian contract with the Devil, accepting magic bullets to win the hand of his beloved in a shooting contest. .
Der Freischutz (The Free-Shooter), an old German folktale on which The Black Rider is based, was first published in the early 1800's in a collection of ghost stories called Gespensterbuch by Johann August Appel and Friedrich Laun.
It was adapted into a widely celebrated opera by Carl Maria von Weber in 1821. The opera, also named Der Freischutz, deviates from the intentions of the original story by giving the story a happy ending. Staying true to 19th century romanticism, a Deus Ex Machina is used in the form of a hermit, who sets everything right.
In 1823, Thomas de Quincy wrote a short story adaptation of his own: The Fatal Marksman, which is based on the original ghost story. The Fatal Marksman, along with the original tale of Der Freischutz, would later inspire Robert Wilson, Tom Waits, and William S. Burroughs to create The Black Rider.
