Das Hochschultheater spielt „Die See“ nach Edward Bond

In the organizer's words:

A drama about social injustice and greed for power, climate change, love and conspiracy theories

Over 50 years ago, the British playwright Edward Bond's drama "The Sea" was a huge stage success in England and throughout Europe. Today, Bond is rarely performed, but wrongly so. His play "The Sea" is timelessly modern. Reason enough for the students at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences to take Bond's play as a model for this year's theater production. As usual, students from all faculties will be performing on, in front of and behind the stage under the direction of university theater director Claudius Wiedemann.

The plot of "The Sea" alternates between the moment of death and mourning, the grotesque and authoritarian exercise of power by the ruling class and the fear of an alien invasion. Along the way, a classic Greek drama is tried out.

All in all, "The Sea" is a plea for freedom and more humanity. Mostly in a calm tone, but always with wonderfully funny, sarcastic dialog. And in the end, hope and love triumph.
