Offene Probe „Oh Schreck!“

In the organizer's words:

We invite you to visit our rehearsal for the vampire comedy "Oh Schreck!". Come and be surprised!

As the vampire in F. W. Murnau's film "Nosferatu", he became an international cult figure: at the same time, Max Schreck was an actor at the Munich Kammerspiele in the mid-1920s. It is said that he still lives in the cellars on Maximiliansstraße, where - as in the days of Otto Falckenberg - "a traditional theater in crisis" is suspected. So - finally - a real star is hired: Max Schreck rises from the depths of the understage to new popularity, while it dawns on the director that several bloodsuckers may be involved in this "bloodless theater" - both in front of and behind the stage. More and more he gets to know vampires and their lives. Isolated from the world, often denigrated as the elite, they look at the crises and wars of our time differently, because they have already seen many.

The question arises: do you have to suck others dry in order to survive yourself or is there another way? And will the stage version of "Nosferatu" be a success or a dangerous event? Fulminant silent film piano accompaniment, live-drawn horror tableaux and an ensemble of very lively vampires, humans and puppets whisk us away into a sometimes very comedic realm of shadows on this evening.

"To stay with F. W. Murnau: You don't have to 'play' a vampire, it's enough to be one."

- Jan-Christoph Gockel, director
