Das RESI FÜR ALLE-Team stellt gemeinsam mit Dramaturg*innen des Hauses und Schauspieler*innen des Resi-Ensembles die aktuelle Spielzeit vor. 

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.

«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».

After a quarter of a century, Brandner Kaspar returns to the Residenztheater - and how! Based on Franz von Kobell's dialect tale, Franz Xaver Kroetz tells the story of the stubborn Bavarian who won't even bow to death in the flesh, the Boanlkramer, in a very honest and touching, yet completely unsentimental and humorous way. Günther Maria Halmer also returns to the Residenztheater as Kaspar Brandner and, together with Munich film, theatre and opera director Philipp Stölzl, they will bring the «Gschichtn vom Brandner Kaspar» to the stage as a «big picture book, because the play is of course a fairy tale».
