The Age from Melbourne, Victoria on July 27, 1997
TITLE: THE BALCONY
WRITER: Jean Genet
DIRECTOR: Bruce Myles
COMPANY: Melbourne Theatre Company
FEATURING: Natasha Herbert, Nadine Garner, James Wardlaw, Christopher Gabardi and David Tredinnick
WHERE: At The Fairfax, Victorian Arts Centre, until 23 August
FRENCH PLAYWRIGHT JEAN Genet, named Saint Jean by Sartre, was the darling of the existentialist writers of the 50′s and 60′s. Like Byron, Genet had the reputation of man who was mad, bad and dangerous to know. His "outsider" credentials were impeccable for the time: an orphan, a homosexual, a criminal, a soldier, a deserter and a highly gifted writer.
The MTC's production of Genet's 1956 play The Balcony is testament to the dazzling talent Genet possessed, but also shows up his flaws, especially in the second half. Inside the brothel in which the play is set, we watch voyeuristically as a series of ordinary people enact their sexual political fantasies about power.
The brothel is a theatre within a theatre, where masquerades are real and the nobodies of history become bishops, judges and generals. But just as there is always a fine line between the delicate, sensual beauty of Genet's writing, and the sudden violent impulses of his characters, there is also a fine line between fantasy and reality.
Outside the brothel, in the world of real power play, a revolution is raging. The
sounds of bombs and automatic weapons are heard. Soon, the brothel becomes the focus for the revolution Power play: some of Genet's confronting theatrical strategies, especially his reflexiveness, now have a played-out look themselves.
The first half of the work is terrific theatre both in the writing and the performances. It's one thing for an actor to have language in which to revel, it's another to rise to it.
Herbert's performance exudes confidence, ease and precision, Garner's
coquettish manner is always on the point of "turning," and Wardlav's bishop is invested with a smooth, but sham mellifluousness. But the second half is too long, too wordy, and the ideas are too often spelt out when they don't need to be.
The result is a dramatic loss of dramatic tension. and the Madam, Irma (Natasha Herbert), the prostitute, Carmen (Nadine Garner), the bishop (James Wardlaw), the judge (Kyle Wright) and the general (Rodney Afif) all become enlisted as puppet figures in the counter revolution as the fantasy politics of the brothel become actual. Or do they?
Is revolution just another game in a world of political game play? In Beaumarchais time, the playful upheaval of order in The Marriage Of Figaro prefigured an actual upheaval on the streets that became the French Revolution. But in The Balcony, revolutionary play-acting prefigures only more play-acting. Although the ideas still have resonance.
