„Macht.Krieg.Frieden(?)“ nach William Shakespeares „Heinrich V.“

In the organizer's words:

What motivates a ruler to force people to hate, soldiers into battle and a people to fight? Is it within our power to end a war and bring about peace? By what means of manipulation, rhetoric and demagogy does a war become a tool of politics - and what price does the civilian population pay in any case, regardless of which side it feels it belongs to?

Macht.Krieg.Frieden(?) is a collaboration between the Globe Ensemble Berlin and the Urban Theater, an Eastern European ensemble whose members, who come from Ukraine or Russia, have had to experience flight and expulsion.

Shakespeare's "Henry V" dramatically depicts how the protagonist, under pressure from domestic politics, persuades his advisors, the army and ultimately an entire nation to participate in a war. Shakespeare's trick of structuring the dramatic events and acts of war, which take place before the audience's eyes in real time, with caesuras through the chorus enables the integration of text fragments from Niccolò Machiavelli and Hannah Arendt.

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).
