Wuthering Heights

In the organizer's words:

WUTHERING HEIGHTS

By Emily Brontë

A co-production of Sommerblut Kulturfestival and Theater im Bauturm

Director Frederik Werth | Set design Maria Strauch | Assistant director Judith Freitag | With Anja Kunzmann and Alina Rohde

Premiere May 10, 2024

Long marginalized as a Victorian tearjerker and remembered at best for Kate Bush's song, Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering He ights (usually translated into German as Sturmhöhe ) has been experiencing an astonishing renaissance for some time now. For Mithu Sanyal, it is even "the postmodern novel of the 19th century".
Director Frederik Werth will reinterpret the dark tale of wild, sometimes brutal love in the midst of a harsh landscape and close one of the many plot holes in the story in an unexpected way. In a multimedia theater performance, the narrative positions of the novel will be questioned at the safe fireside of our own perspectives: the True Crime Podcast.
