Lars Eidinger
Lars Eidinger became known to a broad audience with his portrayal in Maren Ade's “All Others”. He was dubbed “The It Boy of his generation”. Since then, he has been involved in numerous film and television productions both nationally and internationally. Among others, in “The Flowers of Yesterday”, “Persian Lessons”, “Babylon Berlin”, “25 km/h”, “Clouds of Sils Maria”, “White Noise”, “Irma Vep”, and most recently “Dying” and “The Light”. His portrayal of a psychopathic serial killer in the Kiel "Tatort" episode “Borowski and the Silent Guest” brought him much attention. Since 1999, he has been a permanent ensemble member of the Schaubühne Berlin. Particularly through his portrayal of the title characters Hamlet and Richard III in the respective plays of William Shakespeare, he gained worldwide fame as a theater actor. The New York Times wrote: “He might be the greatest Shakespearean actor you’ve never heard of.”
“The House Postil addresses the feeling of the reader and their understanding. It is recommended for reading in times of raw natural forces and in hours of wealth, consciousness of the flesh, and presumption. It should be sung under the impact of harsh dissonances. Its motto is: In gratitude that the sun shines upon them, things cast shadows.” This is stated in the usage instructions for “Bertolt Brecht's House Postil”, which the playwright wrote from 1916 to 1925, and throughout his life continued to augment with further works. The title House Postil is a parodistic allusion to contemporary pious collections of sermons.
Lars Eidinger: “Change the world, it needs it,” it says in “The Measures” by Bertolt Brecht, and then “Who are you?”. It seems there is a direct connection between the question of our identity and the possibility of changing the world. When we step out of the most narcissistic moment, recognize ourselves in the reflection, and make ourselves known, we can overcome the alienation from ourselves and from others and emerge as changed beings from it."
Hans Jörn Brandenburg, who has also worked for Frank Castorf and George Tabori, took on the musical direction of all German-language premieres of Robert Wilson's works during his career and collaborated with Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Herbert Grönemeyer, and CocoRosie in this context. With the band Felix De Luxe, he had a hit in 1984 with the piece “Taxi to Paris.”
