Faust III - After Grabbe's joke, satire, irony
After last year's great open-air success at Altenberger Hof, the Shakespeare Company Coelln continues its vision of German classics.
Where does the devil flee to when even hell is too clean for him?
Welcome to the summer's most garish grotesque - where Goethe, Nero, Shakespeare and the devil himself collide! With "Faust III - After Grabbe", the Shakespeare Company Coelln unleashes an open-air theater that unmasks reality and drives every moral to madness.
A hellishly funny spectacle between political cabaret, performance art and poetic anarchy. Grabbe becomes the voice of the present - angry, sharp and frighteningly topical.
Contemporaries call him "the drunken German Shakespeare".
Double premiere: August 01 & 02, 2025
Time: 19:00
Venue: Altenberger Hof / Bürgerzentrum Nippes, Cologne
Admission: Free - but not for nothing. (Donations welcome)
A theatrical storm about truth, delusion and madness.
