Jena, June 01, 2026 – The theater group „KrisenSpiel“ of the Freie Bühne Jena presents its new play „SehnSuche“ at the Kulturschlachthof starting this week. The performances are dedicated to the deep longings of human beings and invite the audience to an intensive theatrical encounter.

Artistic Intention: In Search of Longing

With the new production „SehnSuche“, the theater group KrisenSpiel places one of the most essential questions of human existence at the center: „What is your innermost longing, and how can it be fulfilled?“ The piece is not conceived as a classic, detached performance, but rather understands itself as an emotional „theatrical encounter“. The production explores how longings arise, what driving force they can develop in the lives of individuals, and what happens when these longings remain unfulfilled or are unexpectedly realized. The audience is actively invited to reflect on their own inner motivations and desires.
