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’.

Just five minutes of silence and listening to the wind in the cornfield, perhaps the birds in the branches. Three characters initially agree that this would get us further in this world.

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.
by William Shakespeare

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.
Schauspiel Leipzig is taking its summer break from July 6 to August 12.

You can find out which premieres and repertoire plays await you in the coming season in our season booklet or online. Tickets are already available in advance. Our box office is closed from 6.7. to 10.8. and will reopen regularly from August 11. Tickets can be purchased in the webshop at any time.

We wish you a great summer and look forward to welcoming you in August for the new season! 🌞
“We-songs” is the motto with which we are entering the coming 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!
with texts by Ada Berger and Liv Strömquist
Artistic director: Ellen Neuser

Revival on 19.8. / 19:30 / Foyer 1

Ada Berger and Liv Strömquist give voice to women who think about social expectations - beautiful, ugly, old, young, envious, empathetic, suffering, happy, questioning, complex and multidimensional women, all played by Paulina Bittner.
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.
