This is the second Shakespeare programmed at the Avignon festival, the “Richard III” directed by Thomas Ostermeier German, darling of the French public, it is a triumph.
This is a triumph for Ostermeier and his favorite actor, Lars Eidinger, terrifying Richard III, the most bloodthirsty king in the history of the English monarchy. The body deformed by his disability, his hump is apparent, he wears a leather helmet, dragging its feet on a stage filled with earth, clinging to a rope, flying over chairs and also scary shows with others characters seducer with the public.
Lars Eidinger is the kind of actor that will awaken a sleeping spectator in the front row, who plays constantly with the audience. It is not in vain because if he tries to please the public is to better love his character and disturb us, yes that Richard III that spilled torrents of blood, we find the sympathetic. Thomas Ostermeier in his company one of the best players in the world.

This is the festival there is a ten years he has conquered France, the theater is a celebration. In “ Richard III ” that begins as an evening with rock-electro thoroughly, drummer on stage, the actors arrive in the room in evening dress drinking champagne explosion of confetti cannons to public, we want to get up to dance. The paradox is that in Germany, Thomas Ostermeier is regularly éreinter by critics.
