Ernst Jandl was an Austrian poet (1925-2000) who, with passion and curiosity, constantly struggled to overcome boundaries and seek new forms. In addition to his experimental poetry in the tradition of concrete poetry, he also wrote two plays from the mid-1970s onwards - "The Humanists" and "From Foreign Lands", which won the Mülheim Dramatists' Prize in 1980. Director Christoph Diem and his team are now bringing this literary gem about a writer's creative crises to the stage for the first time in Braunschweig.

Count Orlok wants to buy a property in Wismar and in order to clarify the purchase agreement, the estate agent Knock sends his young employee Hutter to Transylvania. There he is received in Orlok's castle and bitten. Orlok sees a medallion with the portrait of Hutter's wife Ellen - and immediately signs the purchase agreement. He packs his travel coffins full of contaminated soil and sets off for Wismar. None of the sailors survive Orlok's passage on the ship, but plenty of rats do, bringing the plague to Wismar. While the city gradually becomes depopulated, Hutter's wife learns that only she - and only by sacrificing herself - can put an end to Orlok's haunting.

Nosferatu

Staatstheater Mainz

Basil is an artist and Dorian Gray is his model. Lord Henry, the third in the studio, is a friend of the painter and of decadence. While one paints him, the other corrupts Dorian's pure soul with immoral, cynical speeches. In the same (unnoticed) magical moment in which a special portrait is created, soul and purity separate. One moves into the picture, the other remains with the model.
