Schauspiel Frankfurt: Program highlights 2024/2025

In the current season, Schauspiel Frankfurt is once again offering a diverse program:

With "Faust 1 & 2" and Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage", it will be ceremoniously opened at the Schauspielhaus on the weekend of 19 to 22 September. The motto of the 2024/2025 season is "Longing". The science fiction story "Solaris" tells of the extent to which longing stimulates a search into outer space. Enchanted forests, hauntings, delusions and fantastic counter-worlds - these romantic motifs of longing can be found in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Astrid Lindgren's "Ronja the Robber's Daughter", E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman" and in a comedic rewrite of "Don Quixote". In "The Great Gatsby", the focus is on resistance to and dependence on the propertied class. With Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge", the working-class milieu of New York in the 1950s is shown on stage.

The Schauspiel Frankfurt is the largest spoken theater in the Rhine-Main region and enjoys a great deal of attention throughout Germany as a distinguished stage. In its four venues - Schauspielhaus, Kammerspiele, Box and Bockenheimer Depot - renowned directors present both classics and contemporary drama. In addition to the productions, Schauspiel Frankfurt creates spaces for encounters, discussions and exhibitions in the BOX, the Panorama Bar and the Chagallsaal. Here, artists can present themselves, audiences can ask questions and the city's citizens can get into conversation with each other.

Program highlights 2024

FAUST 1&2

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Directed by Jan-Christoph Gockel

"Oh Faust! - The archetype of the citizen who has studied theology, law, medicine and, unfortunately, philosophy, whose love is destruction and who needs broken souls to build his canal!" - Thus Anton Kuh in a succinct attempt to summarize a work that the poet, for his part, found to be incomplete: Faust II should only be published after his death, so that in the future it would "continue to delight people and cause them trouble." Higher, faster, further - accompanied by the devil, Faust races through the small and big world.

ALL TIME IN THE WORLD

Text and director: Wilke Weermann

The riddle of time has preoccupied us humans ever since we can remember. Is time an illusion? A trick of nature that prevents everything from happening at the same time? Or simply the sequence of countless decisions, impressions and actions that make up our lives? Our great desire would be to master time completely. As time travelers, we could revise mistakes, repeat moments of happiness and jump off the cliff of death. Would our brains even be able to comprehend the resulting paradoxes? If tomorrow were yesterday, however, we could simply take a nice vacation in the past.

SCENES OF A MARRIAGE

by Ingmar Bergman Director: Sebastian Schug

In 1973, Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman created "Scenes from a Marriage", a drama about a woman and a man whose marriage breaks up after ten years: Marianne and Johan appear to be a model middle-class couple - professionally successful, two children, open in their communication with each other. In reality, however, Johan has fallen in love with one of his students and plans to leave Marianne. She initially loses her footing at this announcement. When Johan actually leaves, she suddenly feels a new freedom that she enjoys to the full. How can it be that the two of them, as if bound together by invisible ties, still can't get away from each other?

THE GREAT GATSBY

based on F. Scott Fitzgerald Director: Ewelina Marciniak

The masterful novel about an impossible love documents the time when the path from dishwasher to millionaire was the shortest - New York in the 1920s offered ample opportunity for this. Jay Gatsby, a man of obscure origins, has worked his way to the top of wealthy society. Now he is trying to get closer to his former childhood sweetheart Daisy Buchanan. While Gatsby tries to impress Daisy with fabulous displays of his wealth, his modest neighbor Nick Carraway observes the frivolous goings-on of the upper class as a chronicler of events and confidant of many a secret.

Not everything that is brought to the pawn shop is picked up again. Auctioneer Andreas Rückert, who regularly offers auctions of pawned items, takes care of such things. These auctions often take place in the Bürgerhaus Bornheim. Everything that can be turned into money in pawnshops is on offer here, from jewelry and musical instruments to electrical items, works of art and jackets.

For more than five decades, the Döbritz auction house has been auctioning paintings, prints, photographs, icons, sculptures, tapestries, carpets, clocks, furniture, silver, porcelain and jewelry. About two weeks before the respective auctions, highlight items can be viewed in a catalog, which can be picked up directly at the auction house or ordered home.
