Maria Stuart von Friedrich Schiller

In the organizer's words:

"Her life is my death, her death my life."

The Scottish Queen Mary Stuart has been imprisoned in England for 19 years. Still in prison, she is a constant threat to the English Queen Elizabeth; the British people demand Mary's head in order to finally have peace after decades of religious and political tensions. Elizabeth is torn - having a queen executed seems like a portent for her, as the winds of popular favor can change at any time. Religious delusion and political calculation are not only closely intertwined in "Mary Stuart", but are also inextricably linked with erotic and personal conflict. The struggle between politics and morality comes to a head in a personal conflict between the two queens. None of their actions can be merely personal; no step, no letter, no movement remains unseen. The private sphere is political. High emotionality and deep loneliness are the driving forces behind the characters in this concentrated version of Schiller's drama about a queen.
