Christoph Marthaler makes texts by Basel artist Dieter Roth (1930 - 1998) resound in a pharmacy. Here they touch the heart, kidneys, stomach and intestines. The tear ducts are also affected, as Roth wrote a so-called sea of tears. Five marvellous pharmacists and a wonderful customer bathe in these tears in a decidedly unsentimental way. The prescription they write for life is a poem. The guest performance during Art Basel is presented by the Laurenz Foundation, the sponsoring foundation of Schaulager in Münchenstein/Basel. Schaulager also looks after Dieter Roth's former studio space ‹Selbstturm, Löwenturm› from the collection of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation near the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart.

Das Weinen (Das Wähnen)

Theater Basel

The return of two grand masters: Gustav Mahler – star conductor, visionary composer, and the most famous General Music Director in the history of the State Opera. His music unfolds a panorama of human experience – constantly fluctuating between joie de vivre and the dance of death. Director Christoph Marthaler, known for his idiosyncratic and playful scenic collages, approaches Mahler's oeuvre with an intense chamber piece.
