What happens when powerlessness leads to radicalization? Michael Kohlhaas, a horse trader from the 16th century, falls victim to an injustice that drives him between law and revenge, order and chaos. Together with Theater Laboratorium Oldenburg, Theater Lazarett stages the dynamics of polarization embedded in this classic. An exciting evening of theater that, with a pared-down aesthetic and powerful language, looks from the 16th century toward our present day.
The North German Landscape, a timeless place between wide meadows, blue sky, and East Frisian tradition. On an old warft stands a house. In this house sits the tea drinker with a cup of East Frisian tea in front of him. He looks outside, looks precisely at this landscape, and observes its transformation. In this landscape, people appear and disappear, Molly ends up in the Thermomix, Gerd and Inka arrange to meet for tea, and two teacups meet. Land and Lahnungen come into being and pass away, thoughts make sense and then vanish again. Time passes. Two people accompany you through a world in flux and, in doing so, tell of their passion: art. The starting point for the production was the painting »North German Landscape« by Heiner Altmeppen: a horizon with a modern city in the far distance. What do we see in this image, and what does what we see in it tell us about ourselves? You will experience an evening full of small stories and grand images, overflowing imagination and a delicate scent of tea, topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
