Lulu, eine Gestalt fast mythischer Herkunft. Sie ist «Schlange», «Urgestalt des Weibes, geschaffen, Unheil anzurichten, zu locken, zu verführen, zu vergiften – zu morden, ohne dass es einer spürt». Alban Berg stellt sie als Sensation in einem Zirkus voller Bestien vor, in dem sie die einzig Unzähmbare ist. Lulu erfüllt stets das, was die anderen in ihr sehen. Die Männer erliegen ihren Reizen und zahlen dafür mit dem Leben. Keiner ist dem Naturell dieser Frau gewachsen: ihren ersten Mann trifft der Schlag, der zweite bringt sich um, der dritte wird von ihr ermordet. Lulu verstrickt sich zusehends in einem Gewirr zwielichtiger Machenschaften und Machtspiele. Ihrem gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg folgt der Fall in die Gosse: verarmt wird sie zur Prostituierten. Die «Nachtwandlerin der Liebe» (Karl Kraus) gibt sich dort einem anderen Aussenseiter hin: dem Lustmörder Jack the Ripper.
Der katalanische Regisseur Calixto Bieito, der am Theater Basel in der Spielzeit 2006/2007 mit seiner fesselnden Interpretation von Verdis «Don Carlos» Furore machte, wird diese Neuproduktion inszenieren. Für ihn ist «Lulu» auch ein Stück über eine dekadente Gesellschaft, in der den Menschen das Verhältnis zu ihrer Sexualität abhanden gekommen und der Respekt füreinander verloren gegangen ist. Basierend auf dem Material von Bergs als Fragment hinterlassener und von Friedrich Cerha vollendeter dreiaktiger Fassung wird er eine eigene Schlussversion des Werkes erarbeiten. Der Dirigent Gabriel Feltz, neuer 1. Gastdirigent am Theater Basel, wird mit «Lulu» sein Debüt in Basel geben.

Deutsch

Lulu, a figure of almost mythical origin. She is a "snake", "the archetype of woman, created to wreak havoc, to lure, to seduce, to poison - to murder without anyone noticing". Alban Berg introduces her as a sensation in a circus full of beasts, where she is the only untameable. Lulu always fulfills what others see in her. The men succumb to their charms and pay for it with their lives. No one can match the nature of this woman: her first husband is struck, the second kills himself, the third is murdered by her. Lulu becomes increasingly entangled in a tangle of shady machinations and power games. Her social advancement is followed by a fall into the gutter: impoverished, she becomes a prostitute. The "sleepwalker of love" (Karl Kraus) surrenders to another outsider there:
The Catalan director Calixto Bieito, who caused a sensation at the Theater Basel in the 2006/2007 season with his captivating interpretation of Verdi's "Don Carlos", will direct this new production. For him, "Lulu" is also a play about a decadent society in which people have lost their relationship to their sexuality and respect for one another has been lost. Based on the material from Berg's three-act version, which he left behind as a fragment and completed by Friedrich Cerha, he will develop his own final version of the work. Conductor Gabriel Feltz, the new first guest conductor at Theater Basel, will make his debut in Basel with «Lulu».
