Drama by Friedrich Schiller, director: Anna Malunat, costumes: Katja Krannich, Prinzregententheater Muenchen, 2005

Our production of Schiller’s classic drama investigates the communication structures between the characters. It is not their class differences that creates conflict, but their unwillingness to compromise a small part of their personal ideology and ambitions to accommodate other people living around them. Language is used as a tool to dominate others and to paint castles in the air. Miscommunication causes two fatalities. The stage set makes the audience a bystander to the dramatic events by rigorously removing the boundary between stage and auditorium.
