Modern staging of the ancient tragedy

The summer spectacle retells the story of Kassandra as a narrative about coming of age, community, anger, and resistance. Resident director Azeret Koua utilizes a vivid and musical theatrical language on the forecourt of the Theaterhaus to provide a fresh perspective on the events behind the walls of Troy.

The production involves five actors, acrobats, and a live band. A special feature of the performance is the participation of a FLINTA* choir, composed of voices from Jena and the surrounding area. Alongside other cultural offerings such as the summer Cinema in Jena, this play serves as another open-air highlight in the city’s cultural calendar.
