Premiere of A Round Thing: Theater Art with Grotesque and Realism!
Next September, an exciting piece will be taking to the stage at the Chamber Theater: the premiere of “A Round Thing” by Tomer Gardi. Kulturfreak.de reports that the premiere will take place on September 20, 2025. The director is Noam Brusilovsky, and the special thing about the production is that it is performed in an artificial language called “Broken German”. This is used to address understanding between different cultural contexts.
The plot of the play is anything but everyday. In an absurd odyssey, the characters encounter classic elements such as Goethe's Erlkönig and a German Shepherd named Rex. The whole thing is also linked to the story of the Indonesian painter Raden Saleh. The combination of realism and grotesque promises a unique viewing experience. Video projections that depict the impressive landscapes of Raden Saleh provide the visual impressions.
Additional performance dates
If you miss the premiere, you still have several opportunities to experience the piece. The further performances are planned for September 25th, 26th and 27th as well as October 10th, 11th, 23rd and 24th and November 8th and 9th, 2025.
But that's not all! Immediately afterwards, the premiere of “The World Behind” by Thomas Melle will be celebrated in the Schauspielhaus on September 27th. Lucia Bihler, known for her innovative productions, will direct. The material highlights the author's bipolar illness and poetically and dramatically describes the ups and downs of life.
Interactive insights
For all theater lovers who would like to find out more about the background to the productions, the current issue of the State Theater Magazine Series 5 will be published on September 21st. It contains an exciting essay by Ralf Konersmann and an interview with psychotherapist Jens Tiedemann, who provide valuable insights into the subject matter of the two plays.
Tickets for the performances are available both online and by telephone and can also be purchased at the box office in the theater. So fun at the theater is guaranteed!
