WELT/BÜHNE: THE MANNSCHAFT
In our words:
With a twinkle in his eye, theater director Hong-Do Lee examines the power of soccer from a Korean perspective. A documentary, emotional evening that deals with both the unifying and divisive tendencies of the sport.
In the organizer's words:
THE MANNSCHAFT
with Kyung-Sung Lee & Team
The South Korean author Hong-Do Lee states slightly ironically:
"For me as a Korean, it's still a simple game: 22 men chase after a ball for 90 minutes and the Germans always win in the end."
But for him too, soccer stands for much more - for a unique sport that arouses great emotions, connects people worldwide and connects them through people. At times, however, it can also have the opposite effect: dividing people into hostile camps.
For the Residenztheater, South Korean theater director Kyung-Sung Lee, founder and director of the Seoul theater ensemble Creative VaQi, is developing a documentary and emotional evening about the power of soccer as a social phenomenon based on texts by playwright Hong-Do Lee, which will premiere in April 2025.
Director Kyung-Sung Lee and author Hong-Do Lee are coming to Munich for the European Football Championships to research their play and will provide initial insights into their work in the "Stadium of Dreams".
