The Leipzig Schauspiel is focusing on community in the new season. Under the motto "We-Songs", the focus is on the question of social affiliations, conflicts, longings and contradictions, as the theater announced. Twenty premieres are planned in four venues.
The large, two-part epic "The Legacy" by Matthew Lopez opens the season on the main stage. It deals with questions of belonging, responsibility, desire and social cohesion and tells of the possibilities and impositions of a "we" in the present day.
This will be followed by "Bernarda Alba's House" by Federico García Lorca, followed by Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" next March. In addition, another family play based on Lewis Carroll's "Alice Behind the Mirrors" will be staged at Schauspiel Leipzig. At the end of the season, Schauspiel Leipzig will present "Schöne Vorstellung", a production that takes you through the entire theater, tells theater history and stories and presents the entire ensemble once again.
