La Boheme Screenplay by Aki Kurasmäki, director: Anna Malunat, Staatstheater Mainz, 2007 The
Bohemians were often children from well-off families who chose a romatic
life as artists in Parisian street corner cafes, attic flats and bars
over the comfort of the middle classes. Always on the run from the bailiffs
many of the bohemians did not have a permanent residence and died young
from diseases festering in hardship. Stage design and costumes are mere
suggestions of spaces and conditions and are only defined through use
by the characters on stage. To enagage the audience to fill in the voids,
the Bohemians in our production reside in a transient environment of
changing sounds and light and transforming furniture suggesting but
never imposing the different settings of the screenplay.
