The play Winter by Jon Fosse is a strange and mysterious love story written by a playwright whose text seems to feed itself from that ethereal way of writing which was illustrated and theorized by Maurice Maeterlinck, as the “tragic of each day”.
In this text what is essential is not the exterior dialogue, what is uttered and heard, but the interior one, the one between the human being an his/her destiny and death. The theatrical structure of the play reminds me of another great figure of the 20th century theatre, Samuel Beckett, due to its touching potential to invest the ellipse – that is the void, the absence, the silence – with a power generating deep existential meaning. This is the power which allowed the team of this performance to experiment with a new stylistic and spectacular form within an abstract and ascetical set up – with the amazing and paradoxical capacity of bringing the winter inside and outside – which creates parallel worlds, where gravity and imponderability seem to mingle, and where real and spectral bodies evolve, amidst restrained impulses and devastating passions which talk about loneliness, about the need of an Other and about the difficulty to communicate.
Anca Maniutiu
