The unequal brothers Karl and Franz Moor are not satisfied with the power structures they encounter: Franz feels cheated by a society that makes him, as the second-born, seem superfluous, and by a father who clearly prefers his brother. Karl resists the conventions and the repression of a corrupt government – the spoils of his band of robbers are initially donated by the self-proclaimed avenger of the poor to the needy. Both brothers feel entitled to fight violently for their freedom from the powerful who oppress them. But while Franz acts without moral scruples, Karl is torn between the desire to rebel and the guilt triggered by the increasingly cruel actions of the band of robbers.

Schiller created with DIE RÄUBER a play about the power of youth, about freedom and rebellion. How did it come to be that Schiller was elevated to the status of "national poet" despite considering himself more of a cosmopolitan and European than a nationalist?

The director Pia Richter engages intensively in her work with a contemporary interpretation of this great classical material. In doing so, she questions why it has become an important part of our cultural identity and what we can learn from it about both our self-understanding and our abysses. The question of freedom is always also one of the individual in Schiller's work. What does that mean in a society that has long made the individual the measure of all things? Does a free, democratic society – of which Schiller could only dream – still have a need for rebels like his robbers? And: Who are the real robbers nowadays?
