LEONCE UND LENA UND LENZ

In the organizer's words:

Büchner's comedy Leonce and Lena is one of the most melancholy, strange and somnambulistic plays in the dramatic canon. It is both a political satire and a comedy of mistaken identity: Bored with life and power, Crown Prince Leonce flees his arranged marriage to Princess Lena and flees abroad. "My head is an empty dance hall, a few withered roses and crumpled ribbons on the floor, the last dancers have taken off their masks and look at each other with deadly tired eyes." Through trials and tribulations, Leonce and Lena marry after all - not without having disguised themselves as automatons on their journey and thus once again surrendering to the unworldliness of their class. In Büchner's story of the same name about the playwright Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, which seems like a complementary color to Leonce and Lena, Lenz also threatens to be lost to the world and reality. One escapes the impositions of the real world into wordplay and fairytale absurdity, the other into the nocturnal abyss. Elsa-Sophie Jach will combine both texts into a stage narrative.
