In the organizer's words:

What do you want? A shipwreck, a masque, a heart full of longing and a surprising love story? - In Shakespeare's timeless comedy, you'll get everything you want.

In Illyria, the land of intoxication, nothing is as it seems. Viola is stranded there after a shipwreck, separated from her twin brother Sebastian. She believes that he has drowned and decides to serve Duke Orsino disguised as a man. Viola takes the name Cesario and is now supposed to deliver Orsino's love messages to Countess Olivia. However, Olivia is not interested in the Duke's love, but falls directly in love with Cesario, the disguised Viola, who is now in love with Orsino herself. The confusion reaches its climax when Viola's twin brother Sebastian, who was thought to be dead, turns up and is mistaken by Olivia for Viola. - Can anyone still see through this? Shakespeare's characters certainly don't. They indulge in great emotions and are constantly surprised by their own impact.

Director Alexander Riemenschneider and his ensemble throw themselves into Shakespearean chaos. They delight in dissolving boundaries, hierarchies and attributions - with the idea that being authentic is just a big fake anyway.
