Representation
Charms' texts speak of life's absurdities and the turbulent political circumstances of his time, which can only be met with a solid dose of nonsense. In the monologue Zack. A Symphony., Wolfram Koch appears as an entertainer, clown, and player with a horn who simply has to play, dance, and make music. Daniil Charms' prose, poems, scenes, and dialogues are wildly entertaining and incredibly funny, while simultaneously profoundly ambiguous. Behind the humor, despair and the characters' plight are evident. Alongside a Pushkin joke stands the horror of a totalitarian state. Daniil Charms, born in 1905 in Petersburg, likely died in 1942 during the worst famine months of the Leningrad blockade due to malnutrition, having repeatedly faced persecution and arrest by the Soviet regime. Only posthumously did he achieve the recognition he undoubtedly deserved, today seen as a genius humorist and master of absurd miniatures. His characters, once referred to by critic Helmut Schödel as 'Puppets of Nonsense' and 'a fest for genius actors,' were brought to life again through the brilliant casting of Wolfram Koch by director Jakob Fedler, who has thrilled TNL's audience for years, most recently in Stahltier. An Exorcism.
