Classic in a New Guise
The independent theater ensemble starts the new season with the Hofmannsthal classic. The play, world-famous primarily for its traditional performances at the Salzburg Festival, deals with the life and death of the rich man. In Jena, the historical material is now reinterpreted in a contemporary way within the special industrial atmosphere of the Kulturschlachthof.
Background: The Kulturschlachthof Jena
The site of the former municipal slaughterhouse in eastern Jena (Fritz-Winkler-Straße) has developed into a vibrant center for the alternative and independent cultural scene in recent years. The historic brick architecture now provides space for studios, exhibitions, theater, concerts, and creative exchange. Such venues are of enormous importance for student and independent ensembles like Theaterrausch to realize experimental art and culture formats away from the city’s large and established stages.
