Die Ärztin

In the organizer's words:

by Robert Icke / very loosely based on "Professor Bernhardi" by Arthur Schnitzler

A 14-year-old girl is dying. Because her parents cannot be reached, the doctor in charge refuses the Catholic priest access to her patient. This incident quickly develops into a public scandal. The Jewish doctor is confronted with anti-Semitic and misogynistic reactions, while the Black priest accuses her of racism. This not only calls into question the professional existence of the renowned doctor, but also the entire future of the clinic.

British author Robert Icke has written an acclaimed moral thriller that shows the people behind a complex discussion. His "ingenious update of Schnitzler's original" (The Guardian) is directed - for the first time in Heidelberg - by Pia Richter.
