Lawrence of Arabia
Lawrence of Arabia is a theatrical telephone game, exploring our mediations and misunderstandings, checking received notions. It is a farce about identity, put together by the cooperation of several groups: the creative team, foreigners living in Poland, as well as the actors from our theatre. Finally, it is an attempt of putting on someone else’s shoes, looking at familiar issues from the outside and a fantasy of theatre created for a multilingual and multicultural society. It’s also a play on viewers expectations - because what exactly do they know about Sudan? When was Poland a banana republic? Why does Zorro wear a burka? What is more remote to us: Venezuela or an Amazon warehouse?
The creators decided to invite newcomers, not rooted in Poland and those forced to leave their native countries to cooperate. The goal was to avoid constructing a phantom image of the Other. Expectations were contradicted, perceptions turned around in unexpected ways and the play gained its own comedic dimension. Comedy emerges as a serious, concrete remedy against generalizations and fantasies relating to identity.
Performance in the project Atlas of Transitions. New geographies for a cross-cultural Europe.
Project is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
Backa teater är konstnärligt fristående del av Göteborgs stadsteater och en av Sveriges ledande barn- och ungdomsteatrar. Teatern är belägen i en ombyggd plåtverkstad på Lindholmen på Hisingen i Göteborg.
Teatern bildades 1978 då Eva Bergman och Ulf Dohlsten grundade Skolteaterensemblen på initiativ av Göteborgs Stadsteater. Under flera år hade ensemblen ingen specifik scen utan spelade på flera olika småscener. En av scenerna som frekventerades mest var Backa kulturhus som också kom att ge gruppen sitt namn. 1989 flyttade ensemblen in i en gammal bultfabrik vid Backaplan på Hisingen, men sedan hösten 2007 ligger teatern i en ombyggd plåtverkstad på Lindholmen, Hisingen.
1997 utsåg Sveriges regering Backa teater till nationell scen för barn och ungdom under tre år.
