#WTF Happened? On the Phenomenon of Trump - Delano - Luxembourg in English
Wednesday 20 September -
‘Bar National’ (lobby) space
Actors Repertory Theatre Luxembourg (Actors Rep) explores the meteoric rise of the brash and confrontational billionaire real estate developer to US President in their first autumn production.
“#WTF Happened? On the Phenomenon of Trump” is written and performed by Actors Rep Artistic Director Erik Abbott, who portrays several Trump supporters from a Coal Miner to a member of Congress. The characters, some of whose monologues are based on published interviews with real voters, present a variety of voices and viewpoints—alternately sympathetic, funny, perhaps frightening—and reveal a complex emotional and cultural tapestry examining the Trump effect in a compelling, theatrical way.
The play was originally commissioned by Théâtre d’Esch and developed by Abbott and Théâtre d’Esch Director Charles Muller as a piece for the Ville de Esch-sur-Alzette’s ‘Nuit de la Culture’ in May, 2017
It has since been completely re-imagined and substantially revised, and with direction by Actors Rep Associate Artistic Director Christine Probst.
Catch “#WTF Happened? On the Phenomenon of Trump” from 20 – 23 September at 8pm and 24 September at 5pm.
