In the organizer's words:

Introduction and rehearsal visit

If you would like to know what to expect from our new productions and upcoming concerts before the premiere, the taster sessions are the right place for you. They offer anyone interested the opportunity to get an insight into our program in advance - free of charge! This time: "The Spider Woman's Kiss", the melodrama which premieres on February 22 in the small house of the Stadttheater.

About the play:
The two inmates Molina and Valentin share a prison cell. Molina, who is locked up because of his homosexuality, hopes to be released early. After all, he has agreed to spy on the left-wing radical Valentin and provide the prison guard with information. But over time, an intimate bond develops between the inmates and Molina, who falls in love with Valentin, finds himself caught in a conflict between personal freedom and comradely loyalty. Argentinian author Manuel Puig has written a touching melodrama that uses poetic images to tell a story about holding on to true humanity in violent systems of power.
