Robert Wilson

Quartet
by Heiner Müller

After a twenty-year gap, the master of the visual Robert Wilson has once again turned his attentions to Heiner Müller’s Quartet. Condensing Laclos’ epistolary novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses into a play of around twenty pages, Müller created a dense dialogue on the war between the sexes, the cynical sport of “beasts”, erotic despair, and the fragmented urban consciousness. The constant exchange of roles, genders and identities constitutes a great challenge for the actors, and this time round Wilson has called upon the superb Isabelle Huppert to perform the role of the Marquise de Merteuil, and Ariel Garcia Valdès to play the Vicomte de Valmont opposite her.
