Lukas Hemleb (http://www.hemleb.org/) is one of my favorite theater directors. His work expands from directing baroque, classical and contemporary operas and plays in Europe (Royal Opera House London, Teatro Real Madrid, l’Odéon Paris) till creation of unique poetic works with local artists in Africa and South-East Asia. In the recent month Lukas and me had became close, and finally we are starting to work on a series of projects planned for the next years in Europe and Asia. In a two days marathon in Milan (just before the beginning of rehearsals for his Gluck in Genève) we also managed to visit the wonderful exhibition of Ugo La Pietra in the Triennale and to do some dramatic photo posing.
