Die Ärztin
“Each person is a whole city full of people. There are a thousand different versions of ourselves living within us, and they cannot all be equally important. We decide which ones define us. You have the medicine. I have God. One thing – one single thing – is the highest thing for us.”
The English director and author Robert Icke is known for his sensational rewritings and stagings of classic texts. In his adaptations he looks for the radical impulses of the original in the context of his time in order to make them tangible for today's audience. The play PROFESSOR BERNHARDI by Arthur Schnitzler, which premiered in Berlin in 1912, dissects the anti-Semitism prevalent in Austria using the example of a Jewish doctor who becomes the victim of a smear campaign after he refuses to allow a Catholic priest to administer the last sacraments to a dying woman. Robert Icke introduces Dr. At the center of his treatment is Ruth Wolff, a secular Jew who runs a prestigious clinic specializing in Alzheimer's disease. She refuses a priest access to a dying girl and then becomes the target of a media hunt that endangers her professional future and the reputation of her institute. The complex connections and questions of medical ethics, economic pressure, identity politics and toxic public discourse unfold. The view of Dr. is just as differentiated. Ruth Wolff's character, the working world in which she moves and her relationships.
