The Land We Shared
Théâtres de la Ville du Luxembourg
‘The Land We Shared’ is a must-see personal yet universal story'
Luxembourg Times
In her new production, award-winning performance-maker Larisa Faber blends documentary theatre, live music, and an unlikely prop – cabbages – to uncover the complex layers of grief and historical memory. A semi-autobiographical puzzle with a real-life discovery after her grandmother’s burial becomes a gateway into examining unfinished business, attempting to right the wrongs of the past. Drawing on her Romanian heritage, Faber takes the audience on a multigenerational journey through Romania’s turbulent history. With an exceptional creative team, a touch of surrealism, and a stage full of soil, this theatrical experience turns private mourning into a universal exploration of loss, the weight of history, and the relentless pull of family ties.
Past Projects
“Scheherazade has always fascinated me,” says Simone Menezes about the character from the collection of tales known as One Thousand and One Nights, the inspiration for Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic poem, among many other works. But the stereotypical depictions in literature, music, and film hardly do justice to this fabled storyteller: “Scheherazade’s greatness goes far beyond that—she represents an archetype of female heroism.” Based on a new chamber arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s music, Menezes and her Ensemble K have created a concert project including excerpts from One Thousand and One Nights, ancient love poetry, and newly written dialogue to provide a contemporary look at this legendary character. A panel discussion on the preceding evening will explore additional perspectives.
