Baumeister Solness

In the organizer's words:

by Katharina Grosch after Henrik Ibsen

Master builder Solness is a successful artist, wealthy boss and respected husband, but his brilliance is fed by dominance and exploitation and, as almost always with Ibsen, is rooted in a sin of the past. Solness is the center of his universe - until the young Hilde Wangel enters the scene. She is the only one who is neither emotionally nor financially dependent on him. And she has a score to settle with him...

Patriarchal power structures, artistic genius and emancipation are the themes of this masterpiece. In director and author Katharina Grosch's adaptation of the material, the focus is on the conflicts, expectations and fears between the generations. Houses become a social metaphor and female anger also finds its place.

#press reviews:

"An outstanding ensemble"
Aachener Zeitung

"Torsten Borm uses dramatic gestures to turn this man's innermost self inside out, relentlessly unpleasant, yet at the same time with tragic comedy."

Aachener Zeitung

"Elke Borkenstein plays Aline, hollowed out by life with this man, as if in a trance, but not without charm."
