#4 Literary Classics – Of Hölderlin and Dostoevsky

Steffen Klewar invites you to attend two very different productions in terms of form whose respective content are both based on literary sources. In Peter Trabner’s solo performance, this exceptional actor present an ecodrama of classical proportions inspired by Hölderlin’s Der des Tod des Empedokles. In Fleck und Frevel, Prinzip Gonzo carries the audience away to the St. Petersburg of Dostoevsky in an immersive theater adventure. There, motifs from Crimes and Punishment are brought to life and pages are also turned that Dostoevsky never wrote.
