It's about the rise and fall of a warrior: at this year's Lausitz Festival, Berlin radio presenter and theater maker Jürgen Kuttner is devoting himself to the Roman general Coriolanus. The title of the production is "It pisses me off. You croppies! - Forster citizens rehearse Coriolan", according to the organizers in Cottbus. The play will be performed in the Forster Hof in Forst (Lausitz), which was once home to the municipal theater. There will also be a chorus of local citizens on stage.
Kuttner, born in East Berlin in 1958, was a presenter at the RBB radio station Fritz for many years and is a busy man of the theater. In Berlin, he delighted audiences for years with his "Videoschnipsel" evening at the Volksbühne. This time, too, he uses a lot of existing material, including texts by William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, Günter Grass and Heiner Müller. He collected material about the general Corolianus from antiquity to the present day and put it together like a kaleidoscope, it was said.
