His eyes electrify contemporary theater. Co-director of the prestigious Schaubühne in Berlin, this German director captivates French audiences with his explosive and electrifying adaptations of Brecht, Ibsen, and Shakespeare. From his anarchist youth, Thomas Ostermeier has retained a taste for excess and radicalism. After his Richard III, acclaimed last year at the Avignon Festival, he revisits Anton Chekhov's The Seagull at the Théâtre de l'Odéon until June 25, against a backdrop of rock music, references to Article 49.3, and the war in Syria.
