Wilhelm Tell: Im Reich des Schmerzes

In the organizer's words:

Heroic times have always existed and continue to exist. The lone man who relies on his own strength is a myth that has found impressive expression, not least in Friedrich Schiller's last drama. The legendary Swiss national hero who trusts in his strength and abilities so much that he is even prepared to risk his son's life shooting an apple to prove his own superiority to the tyrant. Risking everything, even his dearest, to accomplish the extraordinary deed - the splendor and misery of patriarchy in sum. With plenty of Schiller and a contemporary look at freedom (battles), generational conflicts and images of men by Marcel Luxinger, this play takes us on a journey to find out what makes a man "worthy".
