Clear the stage for the next generation
Clear the stage for the next generation
At the end of her last season, drama director Katharina Rupp is clearing the stage for the next generation: Sophie Bischoff and Basil Zecchinel, students from the final year of drama directing at the HfS Ernst Busch Berlin, have been commissioned to stage a Mrożek double bill.
Basil Zecchinel, who is originally from Thurgau, will stage "On the High Seas" by the Polish playwright. The one-act play tells the story of three shipwrecked men who discuss which of them should be eaten in order to ensure the survival of the other two. Because the three do not want to become barbaric despite the hardship on the high seas, they want to choose their victim by democratic means - including election speeches for the referendum campaign.
The one-act play "Striptease", which Sophie Bischoff will be staging, is similarly absurd and dystopian. The Berlin student is originally from Basel-Land. In "Striptease", two men end up in a room without knowing why. But they can't leave the room easily. In conversation, they discuss various strategies for escaping.
Sławomir Mrożek (1930-2013) made a name for himself beyond his native Poland as an author of satirical stage plays that used absurdist theater. Influenced by life in the Stalinist system, his parable-like one-act plays and sketches managed to publicly criticize the power of the party and the police. The work reveals time and again how the author subtly warns of the creeping onset of fascist systems and shows the audience how these mechanisms affect people's thoughts and actions.
In collaboration with the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts Berlin.
With French surtitles by Dóra Kapusta (Subtext) at the performances in Biel
Running time: 2 hours 20 minutes (including intermission)
Recommended age: 14 and over
With the generous support of
The Friends of the Solothurn Municipal Theater
