Love is like a chemical reaction between unknown components. In his work ‹Wahlverwandtschaften›, Goethe conducts the following experiment: Charlotte and Eduard are a unit. Their bond is put to the test by the addition of Ottilie and the Captain. Eduard is attracted to Ottilie, Charlotte to the Captain. Director Leonie Böhm continues the experimental setup of the classic material and looks at the network of relationships from a contemporary perspective: in Goethe's language, Leonie Böhm asks how we deal with change in our relationships. And what the continuation of the community might look like. Leonie Böhm was recently awarded the Nestroy Theater Prize for her production of ‹Fräulein Else› and invited to the 2026 Berlin Theater Meeting. After ‹König Teiresias›, she is now working with the Basel company for the second time.
