Romeo Castellucci is one of the most influential theatre maker in Europe today. Human use of human beings is a rare opportunity to see Castellucci’s work in the Netherlands. In his work, Castellucci searches meticulously for the essence, the soul of each story. Castelluci himself has said, “Like every art form, [theatre is] a dance with death. And there is nothing sinister or sad about this; on the contrary: it is simply a reflection on human nature.”
Human use of human beings is an amazingly raw performance that questions whether the world today is worth living in. The show refers to the resurrected Lazarus, with a focus on a fresco by Giotto. But is Lazarus actually ready to return when Jesus calls to him?
