In this edition of arts24, EveĀ JacksonĀ meets one of Europe’s most daring and visionary artists. Exiled Russian filmmaker and theatre director Kirill Serebrennikov is in Paris with two powerful new works that confront the shadows of history and the systems that let them thrive. At the ThĆ©Ć¢tre du ChĆ¢telet, his radical, multilingual “Hamlet/FantĆ“mes” features eight actors sharing the role of the Danish princeĀ ā speaking in English, French, German, and RussianĀ ā as Serebrennikov explores the ghosts haunting our present. On screen, his chilling new film “The Disappearance of Josef Mengele” follows the Nazi doctor’s flight to South America, revealing the silent complicity that allowed one of history’s monsters to escape justice. Serebrennikov speaks to EveĀ JacksonĀ about skulls, systems, exile and why art must break down walls rather than build them.
