The donkey can no longer carry enough, the rooster no longer crows loudly enough, the cat prefers to lie around lazily and the dog no longer likes to hunt. Because the animals have grown old, people want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. But before it can get to that point, the animals take their fate into their own hands. The outcasts decide to go to Bremen to become town musicians. On their journey they have to overcome challenges, endure adventures and teach a band of robbers a thing or two. Despite their differences, the four realize that they are only strong together and finally find a home, even if it is not Bremen.

The Bremen Town Musicians

Staatstheater Mainz

The best stories begin with courage, that's what three actors thought and want to put on a great courage show. But then they hear an eerie noise, a quiet rustling that throws them off track. Because suddenly there is a real problem here in the theater - fear.
The theater text by the young Swiss playwright Julia Haenni questions this great, strange feeling of fear with curiosity, humor and a wink. Can you swallow fear? How do you grow beyond yourself? Is it possible to be brave and fearful at the same time? Is there such a thing as fear of fear? And are courage and fear really opposites? And what do a rabbit and fear have to do with each other?

Fear or Rabbit

Volkstheater Rostock - Big House

It's complicated. Mrs. Bennet has five daughters that she urgently needs to marry. As patriarchal inheritance law stipulates, at least one of the daughters must find a suitable bachelor to secure the family inheritance. When the extraordinarily amiable and extraordinarily wealthy Charles Bingley moves into the neighborhood, happiness seems within reach. At the town ball, it's all about entertaining! Dancing! Singing! While things start to heat up between Jane and Bingley, the proud Elizabeth clashes with the snooty Mr. Darcy. On the way to the happy ending, there are of course still numerous misunderstandings to clear up, wounded vanities to heal and emotional entanglements to unravel.

Pride and Prejudice* (*or something like that)

Antonio Salieri was court composer in Vienna when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart came to town in 1781. With his casual manners and high spirits, Mozart constantly crossed the boundaries of social conventions. But his compositions, with their brilliant perfection, testify to his great talent. Salieri felt insulted by the boy prodigy and began a personal battle with Mozart. He tried to sabotage Mozart's career through intrigues and rumors. In the process, Salieri found himself in an inner conflict between admiration for Mozart's music and his own jealousy.

Amadeus

A strange feeling leads Maud - who has just been awarded the Pianist of the Year prize - to return home earlier than originally planned. To her horror, she finds her husband Julien - an experienced psychoanalyst - alive, but with a rope around his neck in a clear suicide pose. After the initial shock, Maud realises that there isn't even a farewell letter! In the sleepless night that follows, the couple struggles with their relationship and the meaning and nonsense of life. In passionate verbal battles, exaggerated expectations are exposed as childish, ruthless reckonings are served up and intimate wishes are finally expressed.
An entertaining and at the same time complex chamber play for all people who have struggled for a relationship.

The Farewell Letter

Volkstheater Rostock - Kleine Komödie Warnemünde

The story of Álex and Bruno, who under other circumstances would probably never have arranged a date, begins with a curious coincidence and a long voicemail message. Because the two young men couldn't be more different. Álex is registered at two gyms and works at the bar of a trendy bar. Bruno is an architect and has a soft spot for film classics. Nevertheless, the two meet, discover more differences than similarities in each other and finally end up in bed. Then begins a series of unconfessed feelings, cold shoulders, longing and the secret hope of a reunion.
The charming love story of two men by Catalan playwright Guillem Clua premiered in Barcelona in 2012 and was released as a Netflix series in 2022.
