Revox / BAM! / Berlin Festival for Independent Music Theatre 2022
Paul Stiller, still known only to a minority of film enthusiasts, shaped Hollywood's sound and background noise as a sound engineer for over fifty years. The mysterious disappearance of his wife, which filled the newspapers in 1954, remains unexplained to this day. On the occasion of the 2016 Stiller retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Swiss Collectif Barbare received permission to sift through documents from Stiller's estate. It brought up revelations that challenge completely new thinking about this criminal case.
REVOX is a music-theatrical film noir. The audience wears headphones. The performance plays with the sound illusion of binaural microphones. The Hollywood-worthy set of Stiller's study, naturalistically decorated down to the last detail, comes to life. And as neither Stiller nor his retrospective in Los Angeles ever existed, it is only phantoms that populate the stage. An exhilarating and multi-layered exploration of the theme of the physicality of theater and the disappearance of the human in virtual space.
