Carte Blanche à  Robyn Orlin Political and spectacular, popular and demanding, rooted in the present and attached to the story, the work of Robyn Orlin constantly oscillates between the desire to change the world and the changing of curtains (If you can not change the world, change curtains! already proclaimed the title of one of his early plays). From Johannesburg to Berlin, where she now lives, and where it connects its work to great critical tradition of performing arts, Robyn Orlin casts a caustic humor in which the costume is very important. Zulu traditional dress which she criticizes the colonialist use, ballet tutus diverted and magnified, especially invention of extravagant costumes, which she can draw inspiration from the South African swankas (with whom she recently created Dressed to kill Killed dress ... to ...) or in the cinema provocateur John Waters. It will be much talk of the costume in this carte blanche, with sequences of its rooms (Hey Dude, I Have talent ... I'm just waiting for ... God, Daddy, I've seen this piece six times Before and I still don 't know why they're hurting Each Other. etc), and winks to the movies in which Robyn Orlin, big movie buff, would like to punctuate the session devoted to it.
