S WIE SCHÄDEL I Ruhrfestspiele 2025

In the organizer's words:

Scenic reflection on an intangible world based on texts by Navid Kermani
Directed by Roberto Ciulli
Co-production of the Ruhrfestspiele with the Kunstfest Weimar and the Theater an der Ruhr

How can a fragmented, unreconciled world be made comprehensible so that it opens up again to meaning? The author Navid Kermani poses this question again and again in his texts, directing his gaze precisely to where political conflicts seem to extinguish the human.

Eva Mattes and Roberto Ciulli take Kermani's texts as the starting point and compass for an expedition to question our present. This is the first time that two artistic personalities have met on stage whose unusual theater biographies have left their mark for almost sixty years and continue to do so today: Mattes has shaped the new German film since her first leading role in a feature film, was soon shooting with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, and later created milestones in German theater history with Peter Zadek, among others. Roberto Ciulli, legendary director, founded the Mülheim Theater an der Ruhr in 1981, shaped German theater like no other, and later brilliantly challenged the old role attributions through his own work as an actor. Independently of each other, the two are linked by a long dialog with Kermani and his work.

"The theater legend Roberto Ciulli and the great Eva Mattes shine in the stage collage 'S wie Schädel' (at the Kunstfest Weimar). The evening with texts by Navid Kermani is an event that is rarely experienced." FAZ
