Das 2. Internationale Sommercamp hat begonnen

Wir freuen uns sehr nach zwei Jahren zum zweiten mal ein Summercamp im Rahmen des Programms Jugend für Europa Erasmus+ durchzuführen.

Gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern Patchanka und Vivaio aus Italien, Periszkop aus Ungarn und Cuts aus Frankreich werden nun 55 junge Menschen zwischen 18 und 28 Jahren aus Ungarn, Italien, Frankreich und Deutschland in den kommenden 2 Wochen tagtäglich gemeinsam mit dem Team aus 6 Theatermachern arbeiten, schwitzen, mit verschiedenen Sprachen kämpfen, feiern, lernen….und sicherlich auch viel lachen!

Sie werden sich 2 Wochen mit Schillers Räubern auseinander setzen. Und am 30. August dürfen wir auf das Ergebnis gespannt sein!

Schon jetzt möchten wir Euch zur Premiere dieser einzigen beiden Spieltermine am Dienstag den 30. 08. um jeweils um 17.00 Uhr und um 20 Uhr (AUSGEBUCHT) ins Café Leye einladen.

Why Schiller’s “The Robbers”?

Though it dates back more than 200 years, “The Robbers” could easily be set in today’s issues, with the following play’s premise: A charismatic, Robin Hood-like leader turns a band of thieves and outsiders into a revolutionary youth movement. He wants to return his society to the rule of law. The leader’s brother stays inside the world of privilege. He sees power as his birthright — pure power, outside the rule of any law.

It was Schiller’s first play. He was only 21 years old when he wrote it and it burns with the rebellious spirit of youth on every page. This play comes from an amazing period in German theatrical history. It was the time of playwrights like Goethe, Lenz and Schiller. It was a rare explosion of creativity, comparable to the Elizabethan era that gave us Shakespeare, Marlowe and Ben Johnson.

Schiller is very conservative. He questions the limits of society; then he shows us the tragedy that happens when you throw off all limits. While the saying goes that all politics is local you could add that all revolution is personal, Karl and Franz (the two brothers) aren’t fighting over abstractions. They start their different revolutions because they both feel rejected by their father.

The actuality of the play can also be seen in two recent interpretations at the Vígszínház theatre in Budapest (12/2015) and London’s New Diorama theatre (02/2014), both appealing to huge audiences and provoking debates about the topic.
