Romeo and Juliet



    by William Shakespeare German by Thomas Brasch

    "I want to kiss your lips. Maybe there's still a little poison on them."

    What power is stronger than that of love? What boundaries can it overcome? And will it be able to prevail in a world characterized by hatred and violence?

    They are the most famous lovers in world literature, a myth: Romeo and Juliet. And they are prepared to risk everything. As children of the Montague and Capulet families from Verona, who have been enemies for years, they defy all odds, are hopelessly devoted to each other and have no choice but to give in to their feelings. A glimmer of hope in the midst of chaos? Their unconditional love is not without consequences. The old feud between their families leads to murder and revenge, which ultimately costs the two lovers their lives - even though the tragic end of their love has created a glowing monument.

    In-house director Alice Buddeberg brings Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the stage of the Großes Haus and tells of the unquenchable longing for the unifying power of love as an alternative to a world that seems increasingly hopeless.
