ENGLISH SURTITLES
The filter below allows you to search specifically for all performances with English surtitles.
The Residenztheater produces performances in German only – however, some of these are shown with English surtitles. Please indicate at the box office whether you would like a seat with surtitles visible when purchasing a ticket. You can also buy your ticket online. For the best view of the surtitles in the Residenztheater, we recommend the seats in the «Parkett» from row 10 to row 16, especially in the middle. The seats in the central section of the «Balkon» and in every row of the «Rang» are also recommended.

Der zerbrochne Krug (The broken jug) - 31 Mar
Judge Adam has a serious problem: not only does he have to cope with the severe effects of his nightly alcohol consumption, but also the sudden appearance of his superior Walter, who intends to take a close look at the administration of law in the provinces. Adam is forced to try a case publicly in court where he is obliged to investigate himself, which uses all the means at his disposal to conceal. Kleist’s disturbing comedy turns into an investigative drama about a veritable legal scandal.

Rezitativ (Recitatif) - 31 Mar
Only recently rediscovered, «Recitatif» is a literary sensation: the only short story by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Toni Morrison. In it, two young women meet: Roberta and Twyla, both from poor backgrounds, meet in an orphanage and become friends. They are repeatedly brought together by chance, and we learn about their men, their jobs and their children in a series of snapshots. In the end they stand on opposite sides of a protest against racial segregation. But the author leaves open which of the two is white and which is Black.
Tue 31 Mar
Nach Mitternacht (After Midnight) - 31 Mar
«After Midnight» tells the story of two days in 1936. Nineteen-year-old Sanna takes refuge with her brother Algin, a blacklisted author. In between the parties, cafes and bars she begins to recognise that the world she lives in has been increasingly taken over by ideology. Keun’s novel from exile is a haunting depiction of daily life under fascism – her second international success after «The Artificial Silk Girl».
