Premiere on 12.9.2025
Commissioned by Schauspiel Leipzig
by Nino Haratischwili
Director: Enrico Lübbe
Revival on 7.9. / 20:00 / Diskothek
Klytämnestra did not limit herself to opening temples and orphanages. She allowed herself to rule. The ten years that her husband King Agamemnon spent in the Trojan War. Now he returns victorious and demands that everything be as it was before. In Nino Haratischwili's new play, the desire for change and longing for the past collide, as do antiquity and the present.

Normality is a condition that is also a criterion for exclusion. For the two sisters, for example. They try to find their way into the world of the others, to understand it and to adapt. However, the unspoken rules that apply and why are often a mystery to them. Their notes become the starting point for a scenic collage about ‘being different’.

Play development with texts by Liv Strömquist, Ada Berger, Ellen Neuser and Ensemble

It all begins with the search for something great: the perfect couple. But somehow it doesn't really want to work out and great love, as it appears in books and films, hardly seems attainable. And so the five characters (and those who play them) set off in search of the reasons for their recurring heartache - past the highs and lows of relationships and into the unfathomable realm of ideals and feelings.

One after the other, they are stranded on a remote island: first the overthrown Duke of Milan and later his power-hungry brother. In addition, there is the already resident population, which is oppressed by the new arrivals. From various points of view, Shakespeare's characters ask themselves which rule is legitimate and just. They wrestle with words and deeds, all thrown together in one place by the eponymous storm.

“We-songs” is the motto of this season. What constitutes the ‘we’? What defines us all, what defines us, what concerns us as a society? And of course it's also about singing and music!
Due to renovation work on the Main Stage, we will not be offering English surtitles again until November.
For international guests, Schauspiel Leipzig offers performances with English surtitles at regular intervals. Furthermore, English-language introductions will give you interesting background information about the plays and their productions.
The surtitles are best visible in the stalls (Parkett), starting from row 10. Surtitles are only partially legible in the tier (Rang). Please bear this in mind when purchasing tickets.
