In the organizer's words:

Scenic collage with music and song performed by Cora Chilcott

Goethe's sensational epistolary novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther" was published in 1774 and made him famous throughout Europe. Today, we cannot escape the fascination of this magnificent text, as it poetically reveals parallels to the present day!

Timeless and concise set pieces from Goethe's Werther are the focus of this scenic collage, which also draws on recited poems or poems set to music from various creative periods. The poignant and stirring thoughts, which harbor melancholy world-weariness and unfulfilled longing for love, are found in the realms of nature and allegorically reflect the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist's troubled soul.
