Ishmael signs on to the «Pequod», an old whaler. However, it soon becomes clear that the aim of the voyage is not just to exploit the world's oceans and their giant marine mammals, but Captain Ahab's personal vendetta. Melville's «Moby Dick» - brought to the stage by Stefan Pucher - is both an adventurous sailor's yarn and a reflection on the fatal art of seduction of a demagogue.

Based on Oscar Wilde's famous one-act play, Polish director Ewelina Marciniak completely reinterprets the character of Salome. She is no longer a scandalised femme fatale, but a young woman who tries to free herself from the constraints of her surroundings by any means necessary.

Jovana Reisinger’s novel follows nine women from early spring to the summer of an unspecified year not far from the present. All of them live in or around Munich and they are all named after women’s magazines. They live and fail representatively, each of them alone and yet collectively, by the images and ideals of what it means to be a woman.

After many years, Gregers returns to his home country. His father, a successful entrepreneur, offers him the opportunity to join the company management, from which he has to retire for health reasons. Gregers refuses and at the same time learns that his father is secretly financially supporting the family of his old friend Hjalmar Ekdal, who lives in the most modest of circumstances, and becomes suspicious. Why is the capitalist suddenly showing himself to be a philanthropist? In his tragedy, Henrik Ibsen shows how the capitalist system has a direct impact on the private sphere and undermines social cohesion. The Norwegian Johannes Holmen Dahl, one of the most sought-after directors in Scandinavia, is now staging his German debut with a major work by his famous compatriot.
