Der seltsame Fall des Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde

In the organizer's words:

"Two beings live in each of us: Good and evil. If it were possible to split these two natures, life would be freed from all that is intolerable."

London 1888: Dr. Henry Jekyll is driven by questions as old as humanity itself. With the best of intentions, the respected physician conducts a self-experiment that is deeply unsettling. Using a miraculous essence, he wants to split the light and dark sides of his soul. But soon the brutal Mr. Hyde is wreaking havoc in the alleyways of Soho and Whitechapel. As Jekyll increasingly loses control of his own alter ego, a desperate fight for life and death begins: will evil, not good, win the upper hand in the end? Robert Louis Stevenson created a classic of horror literature with "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". We present this impressive case study as a staged reading in the Unterhaus. The Studiobühne is an open space for young artists - assistant director Sonja Laier has adapted the novel for the stage together with Jonathan Schassan, who is completing his training as a theater painter with his own stage design. The costumes are designed by Ariana Moll, who works as a costume assistant at the D'haus.
