The long-lost fourth part of the Oresteia! We’ve been waiting thousands of years for it! — Thomas Köck has unearthed the fragment in Mexico. With a chorus of satyrs and Samuel Koch as the mythological quick-change artist Proteus, the normal theatre is turned on its head.
The Kammerspiele is presenting the sensational premiere of a 2,481-year-old play, “proteus 2481”, the long-lost conclusion of the Oresteia! On a trip through Mexico, a classical philologist from Austria finds fragments of a Spanish-Latin text in the spine of a book. He translates them, lets an AI fill in the gaps and has a hilarious satyr play by Aeschylus in his hands.
In times when the tragic has become omnipresent, nothing is missing like a good old satyr play to finally bring the tragedies about the end of demcoratism to a close.
A Mexican theatre collective, a choir of cognitively and visually impaired actors and musicians, as well as actors from the Kammerspiele ensemble who speak Spanish and ancient Greek, question the conventions of theatre in a satyrical party with Samuel Koch as the quick-change artist Proteus.
Thomas Köck’s commissioned work for the Kammerspiele, “Eure Paläste sind leer” (Your Palaces Are Empty) was invited to the Autor*innentheatertage in Berlin. He is now directing at the Kammerspiele for the first time.
“A satyr play does not sound so tragic. It turns existential hopelessness into a celebration and that immediately captivated me when I first read the play in a small bodega in Veracruz.”
– Thomas Köck, classical philologist and director
