The young businessman Hoffmann has married into an engineering company and has assured his own status and prosperity, which he defends with right-wing populist statements. His pregnant wife Martha oscillates between depression and the bliss of motherhood. When journalist Alfred Loth, who writes for a left-wing weekly newspaper, descends on his former college friend Hoffmann, the cracks in the foundations of this successful society become evident ... As one of the most frequently performed contemporary dramatists, Ewald Palmetshofer has brought Gerhart Hauptmann’s classic social criticism surprisingly close to our present times. 

Chicago, created by the acclaimed duo John Kander and Fred Ebb who also wrote the hit musical Cabaret, is one of the most successful Broadway productions of all times. This musical about two women who will literally step over dead bodies to get what they want has captivated more than 31 million spectators world-wide to date. This new production of Chicago will have everything you can expect from a major American musical: a spectacular stage show, captivating dance numbers, strong characters and a thrilling story that takes a critical look at society at the same time. Passion, sex, intrigue, murder and “all that jazz”! 

Radically meditative, expressively playful or as a futuristic dance installation – Liliana Barros, Aszure Barton and Sharon Eyal have found their unique language of movement. Liliana Barros captivates the audience with her spirited, bizarre and technically sophisticated movement vocabulary. By simultaneously respecting and dismantling classical and contemporary forms, Aszure Barton presents a dynamic, intricate, and layered movement vocabulary that expresses the vulnerability, power, and complexity of the human body. The prominent choreographer Sharon Eyal is known for her minimalist aesthetics, her repetitive and complex movement patterns and the rapid and unpredictable changes of direction in her pieces.
