In a society that is numb, exploitative, and characterized by clear hierarchies, the soldier Wozzeck is a powerless outsider: living in the most humble and precarious circumstances, he finds himself at the very bottom of the social fabric. Someone like him has "only one corner of the world": his love for Marie and their illegitimate child. Oppressed by his captain and abused by a doctor for inhumane experiments, he is increasingly plagued by delusions. When Marie begins an affair with the drum major, Wozzeck loses his last grip. The hopelessness of his existence ultimately drives him to commit a violent act himself.

Wozzeck

Staatstheater Braunschweig

Hardly any other poet has so interwoven her literature with music, opera, and film, and hardly any has so insightfully taken a stand against patriarchy. To mark the 100th birthday of the Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann, composers Karola Obermüller and Peter Gilbert, together with librettist Tina Hartmann, are developing the first musical-theatrical adaptation of her novel "Malina," exploring how closely Bachmann's poetic discourse is interwoven with singing. We encounter a nameless first-person narrator who lives with her male alter ego, Malina, while experiencing a seeming happiness with Ivan, one characterized by conformity and artistic silencing.
