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)
The coup d'état has succeeded, the old government has been swept away. Henry and his followers rule the country like a king. But the king is old and ill and there is no suitable successor in sight. In Mrs. Flott's pub, however, business is going extremely well. John Falstaff spends his nights there with his intimate friend Harri - a mismatched pair, united by their shared desire for sharp-tongued speech and plenty of beer. However, when Harri receives an immoral offer from the center of power, it sheds new light not only on the future of the state, but also on John's friendship with Harri. Austrian playwright Ewald Palmetshofer's new adaptation of Shakespeare's history play, in which royal drama and comedy join hands, is both linguistically polished and crudely comic.
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.
