Der Raub der Sabinerinnen

- Not available -

Professor Gollwitz, a small-town high school professor struggling with financial and domestic worries, has succumbed to his secret passion for theater. When the theater director Striese happened to be visiting the city with his traveling theater troupe, he found out that the professor was hiding the play THE ROBBER OF THE SABINE WOMEN in a drawer from his wife. The Schreientheater director Striese, who is quick-witted in all situations, elicits the stroke of genius from the author, who initially refuses, and prepares its performance. Before the play sees the light of day, the professor's wife returns unexpectedly from the spa, and the family catastrophe with impending embarrassment takes its course.
For the anniversary, almost thirty years after the premiere, the American director Daniel Kramer is developing a new production of the play for the Akademietheater.
Goethe wrote the first version of his humanistic drama as a secret legion councilor on a trip to recruit recruits for the Weimar army. Even today, his call for dialogue and justice is far removed from everyday political reality. But Goethe suggests how the world-determining pendulum movement between murder and retaliation could be ended and counters the cycle of violence with the possibility of a processual change in the world.
Director Lucia Bihler translates this iconic parable into a series of transformation phases that address questions about loneliness, loss of trust, powerlessness and the urge to survive in today's world. In this way, she approaches the story of the modern prodigy Franz Kafka, who was born in Prague in 1883 and died in Kierling, near Vienna, in 1924, a century ago, in a pictorial, very physical way.
We know that he was born around 1721, that he was taken from his homeland in West Africa and sold into slavery. He came by ship from Africa to Sicily, where an Italian Marchesa took him into her care. We know that against all odds he achieved an extremely influential position at the court in Vienna after saving the life of Prince Lobkowitz on a Hungarian battlefield.
The heroines take the strings of fate into their own hands. Will women now save the world and defeat the omnipresent hatred?
Ein Buch wie ein Traum, so wegweisend wie umstritten . Sigmund Freuds Großprojekt ist ebenso undurchdringlich wie die Seele, die es untersucht. Ein konfuser Wegweiser zu den Schauplätzen der Träume und damit zum Ich, wovon Träume laut Freud ausschliesslich handeln.

The two dandies Algernon and Jack love the double life. In order to reconcile vice and pleasure with their social obligations, both of them have made up lies: Algernon invents a sick friend named Bunbury so that he can visit him in the country as often as possible, and Jack pretends to take care of his brother Ernst having to come to town regularly.
In einem Jagdhaus, fernab der Stadt, inmitten eines Zuchtwalds von gigantischen Ausmaßen, warten die Generalin und der Schriftsteller auf die Ankunft des Generals: ein stolzer Stalingrad-Veteran, Großgrundbesitzer, Jäger und ranghoher Politiker auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Macht. Es schneit, und der Bedienstete Asamer heizt ein gegen die winterliche Kälte. Das Gespräch der Generalin mit dem Dichter kreist um den Finalzustand, in dem sich der alte General und dessen Welt entgegen dem Anschein tatsächlich befinden.
