Representation
With The Summit, Swiss director Christoph Marthaler marks his return to the Grand Théâtre. For this new production, Marthaler decided to prepare all the theatrical elements—from casting to set design, from the text to the musical repertoire—in collaboration with his artistic team. This approach, more than a process, thus becomes the subject of the performance itself.
Marthaler takes six Italian, French, Swiss, Austrian, and Scottish actors and musicians on an expedition to inhospitable lands for a summit meeting—a word that can refer both to an important gathering and a peak, an organization as much as a goal, a place for discussion, but also a high point from which one can see far. And a pastry, in Swiss German. But what summit will we be talking about here?
With Le Sommet (The Summit), Marthaler has created a musical, multilingual, and humorous form of theatre, which brings together, in a kind of textual collage, the words of classic and contemporary authors such as Kafka, Christophe Tarkos, Arno Schmit, and Friederike Roth, as well as speeches from the European Parliament. Through circuitous routes, reflecting a Europe that is also searching for itself, Le Sommet promises a political and cultural encounter that dismantles and recomposes the ways in which humans form societies.
