In the organizer's words:

"The Sorrows of Young Werther"

Goethe's classic thrillingly performed in the historic barrel cellar of Auerbachs Keller

"The Sorrows of Young Werther" became a bestseller immediately after its publication at the Leipzig Book Fair in 1774 and was good enough for a huge media scandal in Europe.

It is the story of a loving young man whose emotional world constantly collides with merciless reality and social expectations. He loves Lotte, who inspires him with her stunning natural manner. But she is already promised to the wealthy Albert. How far does true love go? Goethe's epistolary novel is representative of the young generation's perpetual search for themselves and true love. This leads to a gripping interplay of tragedy and lightness, comedy and melancholy, which must be playfully explored... Werther's love frenzy ends with the only possible consequence for him.
