GEHEIMNIS 3 - Open Air | 27.06. | Ödipus u.v.m.

A deadly plague is raging in Thebes. It is said that only the investigation of a crime can prevent the impending doom: Oedipus, the city's revered king, must find the murderer of his predecessor Laius in order to save Thebes - and in doing so inevitably reveals an ever more terrible entanglement of guilt and innocence, of fate, freedom, power and betrayal, at the heart of which lies the secret of his own origins.

Even two and a half thousand years after it was written, Sophocles' Oedipus the King still exerts an unfathomable attraction. Something in this story does not cease to attract us, reveals itself and eludes us, placing us in a tense relationship of closeness and distance. Following this idea, the production, characterized by elements of mask play, accompanies a group of enigmatic beings in their exploration of the story and an increasing rapprochement with its characters, themes and indeed: Secrets. The initial strangeness gives way to ever greater closeness and a pull that circles across time and space around the most fundamental and perhaps most disturbing of all questions: What is man?
