Warten auf Godot (Waiting for Godot) - 24 Apr
Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for Godot, who they neither know who he is nor what they actually want from him. With his ambiguous work about waiting and the passing of time, which has been interpreted in all directions, Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett created one of the classics of modernism, which in-house director Claudia Bauer reinterprets.
Thu 24 Apr
Die Gewehre der Frau Carrar/Würgendes Blei (Senora Carrar’s rifles/Choking Lead) - 24 Apr
1937 in a fishing village after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Mrs. Carrar has forbidden her sons to join the fight against Franco. She desperately hopes to be spared war and terror. But how much longer can she protect herself and her sons? And what should she say to her brother, who demands that she hand over the guns hidden in the house and asks the all-important question: «If the sharks attack you, is it you who will use violence?» In Brecht's short play, everything revolves around the unsettling question of the possibility of neutral abstention. In his play «Choking Lead», playwright Björn SC Deigner continues Brecht's question in the present and searches for a language for the timeless horror of war and destruction.

Die Ärztin (The Doctor) - 25 Apr
Robert Icke has congenially translated Arthur Schnitzler's play «Professor Bernhardi» into the present day. The doctor Ruth Wolff not only comes into conflict with her colleagues and the maxims of the Catholic Church, but also into a media shitstorm. The «Times» of London celebrated «The Doctor» as an «open-heart operation on our present day, which gets more complicated the deeper you cut».

Erfolg (Success) - 26 Apr
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.

77 Versuche, die Welt zu verstehen (77 attempts to understand the world) - 26 Apr
What do we need to make theatre? Does theatre have a tangible impact on our lives?
Based on a reading of Bertolt Brecht's 77-part «A Short Organum for the Theatre», the South Korean director Kyung-Sung Lee and the ensemble of the Residenztheater explore the current crises in Korea, Germany and the world, playfully testing whether Brecht could still help us to understand the world better today.
