Keine Sorge (Religion)

In the organizer's words:

Don't worry (Religion) - by Bonn Park with music by Ben Roessler - world premiere on October 20, 2023 - Schauspielhaus, Großes Haus - Schauspiel

Hello, everything will be fine. Don't worry. We have invented a religion for you. Religion is difficult, yes, but not this one. This one is very good. Come over and watch a church service. There is singing, the mind and heart are impressed, and there are answers to everything. If you don't like it, you can't join anyway. Everything is just made up for luck, unfortunately.

Recent writer-director Bonn Park dreamed that thousands of years from now, humanity will travel through space to discover new species, shake their hands, and try to understand each other's ways without judging them. His critically and publicly acclaimed "Return to the Stars (Space Opera)" was seen on the big stage of the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus. - In his latest work, Park dares nothing less than to attempt to establish a religion. A sensual theater for the eternal search for meaning, a ceremony with choral singing and organ sound, which, as is well known, can evoke transcendental experiences even in religiously unresponsive people. Thoroughly hoping that art can bring something like healing, individual and societal healing.

Bonn Park studied scenic writing at the Berlin University of the Arts. His work has won several awards, including the Friedrich Luft Prize, the Anna Seghers Prize, and at the Stückemarkt of the Berlin Theatertreffen. He directs and writes for theaters in Belgrade, Seoul, Munich and Hamburg. He has an ongoing collaboration with composer Ben Roessler, who creates large symphonic arrangements.
