KantTheaterBerlin: 1984 von George Orwell

In the organizer's words:

Big Brother is watching you - over 70 years ago, George Orwell wrote this science fiction thriller about the destruction of a human being by a totalitarian surveillance state. Winston Smith doubts this system, he hates it, and that alone is a thought crime, his death sentence, and he knows it. But suddenly something completely unexpected happens to him: he falls in love. But can he really trust Julia? Isn't she a member of the thought police after all?

In the Kanttheater Berlin version, Uwe Neumann is Winston Smith, Anette Daugardt slips into the roles of the antagonists, the lovers, the thought police. Two chairs and a trombone are enough to show the equally fascinating and frightening intellectual core of this classic negative utopia in all its threatening topicality.

By and with Anette Daugardt and Uwe Neumann

Since 2003, the KantTheaterBerlin has been staging contemporary works and classics in its own modernized versions in a chamber play format.

The current program includes plays by Shakespeare (German/English), Goethe and Schiller, as well as word art evenings and swing concerts. Until the reconstruction of the former Schwäbisch Hall circular theater building on Sömmeringstraße is possible, a ring-shaped catwalk made of wooden components of the future Globe will serve as an open-air stage. The audience sits in the middle of the action. Admission costs between 20 and 26 euros (concessions 16 to 21 euros). Tickets can be booked via www.globe.berlin, directly from Ticketmaster and via the usual advance booking offices (plus additional costs where applicable).
