Institute History
Description
"The piece stems from a physical score built from the 1918 Wiene/Mayer/Janowitz silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"". The film is the story of a mad man (Dr. Caligari) who tours with a clairvoyant/comatose slave trapped in a cabinet and two young lovers whose lives are changed upon encountering his carnival. The piece will set this story to the words of seven of the most important and passionate thinkers on the subject of acting, including Aristotle, Adolph Appia, Constantine Stanislavski, Bertolt Brecht, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, and Anne Bogart."

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
