BAM! (What Quartett does and where it was shown)
I still remember Quartett. I still remember how, even though I tried researching the story it was based on (Le Liaisons Dangereuses) I still was confused by the story. I remember how it was like a freakshow; wild, avant-garde, and quite edgy, and still (and probably because of this) I loved it. I loved its play between Valmont and the Marquise, not knowing who was playing who. (Valmont said he was a woman, which confused me.) I loved its lighting, its use of rock and rap (seeing Valmont rap was hilarious and fascinating) and its minimalistic yet striking sets. The whole play itself was quite minimalistic, with only five characters, minimal props, and somwhat minimalist music. (That is, except for the rock and rap scenes.) And all of those things together made Quartett an odd, edgy, and wonderful play.
