Romeo Castellucci

Romeo Castellucci is een van de meest toonaangevende theatermakers van vandaag. Hij maakte internationaal naam met een sterk beeldende theaterpraktijk. Zijn werk was sinds 2000 regelmatig te zien in DE SINGEL. In zijn nieuwe grootschalige theaterproductie Faust, met de ondertitel Done, unsaid, vertrekt hij van drie raadsels.

Riddle Number One
I do not live in the name, but in the mark
I choose the moment, yet he does not want me
What I seek devours me
What devours me does not nourish me
When I signed, the hand was mine
When I spoke, the voice belonged to another
Since then I walk in the company of what I asked for
And the further I go, the more the ground becomes a thread
My dress warms me not, weighs me not, falls not
Who am I?

Riddle Number Two
I do not create: I corrode
I do not deny the truth, I render it useless
I do not knock: I am already inside
I do not lie: I bend the words
I bring light without heat
I advise roads that descend while rising
I do not ask for the soul: I make it appear a remnant
I smile when you consent
I vanish when you invoke me
Who am I?

Riddle Number Three
I break into a thousand and yet I am one
Whoever tries to tame me is found by me
Whoever tries to ignore me falls into my arms
I am the wind that bends trees for no reason
Whoever seeks me in error finds me in the rule
I am the secret heart of what you call law
I have no form, yet I possess them all
Kings fear me, winds invoke me
Who am I?
