SURREALIST COMEDY / THEATRICAL PASSION / NEW DRAMA
by Peter Neugschwentner
Summer spectacle for the opening of the Kulturarena Jena
Reclaiming one's heart is a heroic act, but now Laszlo, who gives the play its title, lies lifeless on the chaise longue because his heart was accidentally built into a stage set for a Jelinek production.
Now other heroes are needed:
Laszlo's friends and mother set out to storm the performance and recapture the heart, encountering a director with a forklift, a scolding crow, a shrew and a trumpet animal, among other things.
Peter Neugschwentner wrote this play as part of his degree in "Scenic Writing" at the UDK Berlin, in which the director wants to tear down the wall between the stage and the auditorium on a forklift so that theater can be enjoyed in the open air.
Josef Bäcker and Lukas Pergande take this as an opportunity to celebrate the end of the season together with a spectacle: "Laszlos Herz" (UA), or "Lass los Herz" as it is known, offers the opportunity to look back on the first season at Theaterhaus Jena, allows companions to appear and pays homage to the theater as a community-building place where the efforts of everyday life can be let go, but which also demands passion from those who work on and in it.
And a catchy tune* also plays a role.
