WERTHER
In the organizer's words:
WERTHER
A theatrical frivolity by Johann Wolfgang Goethe with texts by Karoline von Günderrode
"The Sorrows of Young Werther" became a literary sensation throughout Europe in 1774 and made the 25-year-old Goethe the star of the young strikers and pushers overnight. Goethe originally wanted to adapt the story of Werther's unfulfilled love for Lotte as a stage play, but ultimately opted for the epistolary novel form. Director Elsa-Sophie Jach takes up Goethe's rejected idea and transfers Goethe's lovesick alter ego to the stage in her adaptation of Werther.
"WERTHER. Ein theatralischer Leichtsinn" expands Goethe's astonishingly modern, shimmering emotional frenzy with texts by a contemporary of Goethe's: Karoline von Günderrode. Her idiosyncratic, melancholic and highly poetic poetry, which earned her the title "Sappho of Romanticism", meets the emotional exuberance of Goethe's tragic anti-hero with its emancipatory radicalism.
