Mag Theatre Company

Autobiography (Thomas Bernhard)

Thomas Bernhard’s Autobiography is a snapshot of the Ego encountering the world: an encounter that never comes to pass. He equates society with a vast institution, inhuman and dark, housing millions of people with special needs. The MAG company production eschews the on-stage representation of the events described by the Austrian man of letters. Instead, revolving around its actors’ bodies, it projects a distorted inner landscape, focusing less on his yelling in desperation as on the yell itself.
 
The production uses Vasilis Tomanas’ Greek translation of Thomas Bernhard’s Autobiography (Exandas: Athens 1995).
