Räuber - ein zeitgenössisches Fragment von Friedrich Schiller

Robbers - a contemporary fragment by Friedrich Schiller a cooperation with the Keller Drama School "I have great rights to be indignant, and I want to assert them. Swim who can swim, and whoever is clumsy will sink!"

Schiller's eloquent images of envy and resentment in a seemingly outdated social order sound astonishingly topical in 2026: collectively perceived "insecurity" is spreading and giving rise to a new egoism. Disregarding morality, reason and the law is becoming increasingly commonplace. The firewalls are torn down. Nine drama students think, feel and act out Schiller's original text for 65 minutes - from their own perspective. They move through a world in which orders are crumbling, power is being redistributed and radical positions are increasingly being heard. Between the call for freedom and the fear of losing control, the drama becomes a mirror of a society in a state of emergency - and an urgent question: Who does the future belong to?
