Kasimir und Karoline (Casimir and Caroline) - 7 May

by Ödön von Horváth
Prices H
21 bis 64 €

The Oktoberfest is a place of amusement and welcome distraction, even in the midst of the global economic crisis of the early 1930s. But it is a place that puts the love between Casimir, a redundant chauffeur, and Caroline, an office worker, to the test. In the world of the petit bourgeois, people seek comfort in alcoholic excess as the hour gets late and the chasms between them are revealed.  Horváth’s kaleidoscope of characters, whose monstrosity lies in their banality, shows the people of their time and how they are subject to economic necessity.

Ödipus (Oedipus) - 12 May

by Robert Icke after Sophokles
German Language Premiere
Prices H
21 bis 64 €

Oedipus, the lead candidate of a new political movement, is as good as assured of election victory. But why are the circumstances of his predecessor’s fatal road traffic accident classified? And what is the fake news regarding his origins about? Oedipus starts to investigate – despite all the warnings. As in his updating of Schnitzler’s «The Doctor», Robert Icke has radically translated a theatre classic into the present. Icke’s «Oedipus» looks behind the myth and is both a family tragedy and a political thriller.

For each performance, a draw is held to decide which of the two actresses will play the victor or the vanquished.

Die Ärztin (The Doctor) - 22 May

by Robert Icke very freely adapted from «Professor Bernhardi» by Arthur Schnitzler
Prices G
17 bis 57 €

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».
