Bajazet - Considering the Theatre and the Plague is an intriguing adaptation that merges Racine's classic tragedy with Artaud's intense theatrical vision. The atmosphere is thick with tension, capturing the intertwining of personal desires and the weight of power. Castorf's direction, though hard to pin down, allows for an almost chaotic immersion into the characters' emotional depths, making for a unique pacing that sometimes feels confrontational. The performances are raw, pulling you into a world where the plague serves as a metaphor for life's darker facets. It's distinctive in how it blends classical themes with visceral modern interpretations, creating a layered dialogue about existence itself. Definitely a thought-provoking watch for those into experimental theatre on film.
