by Christoph Marthaler with texts by Elfriede Jelinek
Director: Christoph Marthaler

World premiere on 09/10/2025 in the MalerSaal at the Deutsches SchauSpielHaus

In recent seasons, Christoph Marthaler has developed two unusual evenings at the MalerSaal, based on poems, letters, and sketches by authors who, for various reasons, chose to retreat completely into rooms (Emily Dickinson) and towers (Friedrich Hölderlin), creating great literature from the smallest of spaces. Following "The Carefree Sleepers, the Freshly Bloomed" and "In the Name of the Breeze," the focus now shifts to lesser-known parts of the work of Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, who, from her apartments in Vienna and Munich, dissects the volatile world events and expresses them in a distinctive way. As things stand, this will be anything but a classical ballet. With "My Swan Lake," the exploration of these world-loving, world-flipping figures now concludes in a trilogy.

With: Magne Håvard Brekke, Bendix Dethleffsen, Fee Aviv Dubois, Josefine Israel, Sasha Rau and Samuel Weiss
Director: Christoph Marthaler
Stage: Duri Bischoff
Costumes: Sara Kittelmann

Dramaturgy: Malte Ubenauf
