DIE RÄUBER

Directed by: Uta Wanitschke / Matthias Thieme

Karl: Favorite son, sole heir, avowed advocate of human ideals, engaged to Amalia.
Franz: The second-born son, the one who stayed at home, the one who was shortchanged.
Two brothers, dissimilar yet united in their drive for “greatness,” go astray: One, following the law of the jungle, schemes against his brother and skillfully seizes their father’s estate for himself.
The other, having been robbed of his inheritance, joins a band of outlaws whose fight for justice soon spirals into unbridled violence.
Caught in the middle is Amalia: steadfast, even as her world falls apart.

This drama connects the “inner Sturm und Drang” of the 19-year-old Schiller with the present day: it portrays the outlaws of our time, telling of youthful exuberance and the hunger for adventures that are just a click away.
NO RISK NO FUN—until things get out of hand and the question of responsibility for one’s own decisions arises.
