Last performance of "Reigen"

After Arthur Schnitzler
Staging: Yana Ross
A coproduction with Salzburger Festspiele

In "La Ronde", premiered in Berlin in 1920 to great scandal and forbidden by its own playwright to be performed until 1982, Arthur Schnitzler dissects the masks of a society. Long leading a double life as a physician and artist, he uses his literary psychology to examine the anatomy of the so-called “soul”. Underneath it all, sex always emerges, as Schnitzler’s model deals with pre- and post-coital conversations. In "La Ronde", prototypical figures of Viennese society make love in a kaleidoscope of ways that cut across classes, ages and genders, secretly uniting those who otherwise cannot come together in the publicly acceptable societal order.

Triggerwarning: This production deals with sexist, misogynistic and homophobic violence that can be retraumatising (including the description of a rape and stalking). Among other topics, the play addresses war, and uses a weapon as a prop. Recommended age: 18 years and up.

German with English subtitles.
