With «Success», we journey into the inner workings of a society in which everything is measured in terms of personal career advantage, the demands of embittered contemporaries, hatred of one’s neighbours, anger at those with a different political opinion and one’s own lack of any sense of direction.
Erfolg (Success)«Mitläufer» (Followers) is a historical exploration of the contradictory biographies of those whose close contacts with the Nazi party helped them to reach the top echelons of the theatre. In this research project, the Residenztheater, one of the oldest German theatres, examines a dark chapter in its own history.
Mitläufer (Followers)Austrian playwright Ewald Palmetshofer translates Shakespeare's royal drama «King Henry IV» into the present day of eroding democracies with sophisticated language and defiant humour.
Sankt Falstaff (Saint Falstaff)In his historical miniatures, Stefan Zweig brings together brilliant achievements in European history that tell of unbreakable vitality as well as human weaknesses. In Thom Luz' poetic and musical production, they become archive material that is explored, sung about, brought to life in brief moments and also set in relation to Stefan Zweig's own biography and his journey into exile in Brazil.
Sternstunden der Menschheit (Highlights of Humankind)What happens with dementia and how can we deal with this phenomenon? Director Anna Karasińska and journalist Jürgen Berger explore the disease in a poetic evening of theatre that highlights the fragility of human existence and our basic assumptions of identity. Their search for clues leads them to a dementia village in Thailand, where care is provided in a completely different way to that in German care homes.
