About This Movie
The Art of the Impossible is a fascinating dive into the world of physical theater, exploring the roots and evolution of Eugenio Barba's Odin Teatret. The film's atmosphere is somber yet inspiring, as it juxtaposes Barba's journey with the historical backdrop of censorship in communism. The pacing feels reflective, allowing you to absorb the weight of the places he revisits—Oslo and Opole—where pioneering figures like Jerzy Grotowski shaped theatrical expressions. Practical effects and performances are raw, emphasizing the physicality of the art form. It's distinctive for its intimacy; watching Barba confront his past and the impact of his work on Holstebro offers a unique lens into the art of theater itself, making it feel very personal.
