ANNETTE, EIN HELDINNENEPOS
12/11/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

ANNETTE, EIN HELDINNENEPOS tells the story of Annette Beaumanoir, a French neurologist who was a member of the Resistance against the Nazis as a young woman, and later supported the National Liberation Front in the Algerian War of Independence. The former brought her much honor in France, while the latter led to her being sentenced to ten years in prison – raising the question of who has the authority to interpret "heroism" ... Based on the novel/slash/heroic song by Anne Weber, which won the German Book Prize in 2020, stage author Clemens Mädge creates his own theatrical adaptation for the Vagantenbühne. The production is directed by Kathrin Mayr, who at the Vagantenbühne previously directed Heinrich Böll's "The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum" in the 2022/23 season.

NATHAN
12/13/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

When Nathan returns from a business trip, he learns that during his absence, there was an arson attack on his house, and his daughter Recha only managed to escape the flames with the help of a Templar. It is both a stroke of luck and incredible, on one hand because the Templar, a Christian, willingly saved a Jewess, and on the other hand because he himself was spared from execution by the Muslim Sultan, as the only Crusader shortly before.

In search of this Templar, Nathan soon finds himself confronted with his own past, and a dense plot unfolds around the question of the coexistence of the three monotheistic religions, tolerance and its fragility, belonging, community, equality, ultimately culminating in the famous "Ring Parable."

Lessing's work NATHAN THE WISE, published in 1779 and considered one of the main works of the Enlightenment, is set in 1192, after the Muslims, under Sultan Saladin, re-conquered Jerusalem (1187), during the time of the Third Crusade.

Director Max Radestock and his team examine the over 200-year-old material in a distilled version for its relevance today. How far has the idea of Enlightenment come in the last 300 years? Are we living in a tolerant, enlightened age? And what would Nathan say about the current social developments?

WARTEN AUF´N BUS
12/16/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

Ralle and Hannes are sitting at the bus stop in Briesenow, somewhere in Brandenburg. Every day. The two have been friends since school and have gone through all times together. The good times, when Ralle was still an engineer in open-pit mining and Hannes a proud agricultural scientist, are long gone. After that, a lot happened: the turnaround, divorces, and then nothing more.

Anyone who thinks their story is one of those typical East German loser stories is mistaken. Ralle and Hannes still have each other. And then there's bus driver Kathrin, whose stop in Briesenow is always an event. Moreover, as is common in a story from Brandenburg, there are Nazis to contend with and village bullies who have been a pain since school.

The successful RBB series "Warten auf´n Bus" by Oliver Bukowski, Anne Rabe, and Sophie Decker paints a picture of Brandenburg province contrary to common clichés. With a lot of heart, it tells the story of two friends, through whom a piece of German history can also be traced, but who are above all two people with heart and humor. Director Christine Hofer adapts the series for the stage and brings "Warten auf´n Bus" to the Vagantenbühne.

FAME FATALE - Die Anfänge
12/17/2024 at 7:30 PM / Berlin

"Fame Fatale" is the live podcast show that brings queer perspectives to the stage with humor, sharpness, and political relevance. Michael Schweisser and Lukas von Horbatschewsky, both experienced artists from Berlin, take an unvarnished look at abuse of power, sexism, racism, and the invisible struggles in the entertainment industry. Through historical contexts, personal narratives, and musical contributions, a show is created that touches and shakes you. They draw a connection between the threats to queer culture then and now. "Fame Fatale" is young, loud, and relevant – an evening that lingers.

DER DOPPELGÄNGER - nach Fjodor M. Dostojewskij
12/18/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

One night, Goljadkin encounters a stranger who seems very familiar to him: he is his doppelgänger. When the next day he is assigned as his new seat neighbor in the office, no one else seems to recognize the similarities between the two. Instead, the doppelgänger immediately gains popularity among colleagues and superiors, a popularity Goljadkin has dreamed of for years. The fear of being completely replaced by his copy eats away at Goljadkin's thoughts day by day. His identity becomes increasingly blurred - Is he Goljadkin or the Other? - until one of them is taken to the psychiatric hospital. The original or the imitation?

So far, the version of "The Double" that Dostoyevsky edited and smoothed out 20 years after its publication has been mainly known. The surreal and comedic way in which the young Dostoyevsky originally told the story can be noticed in the new translation by Nitzberg from 2021, which forms the basis of the stage version by the playwright Clemens Mädge. With DER DOPPELGÄNGER, he now places the "insufficient" individual and the offended narcissism of the individual at the center. A motif that is as timeless as it is current. Especially in our digitized world, we constantly have the opportunity to create a different version of ourselves by omitting or adding details. But when does the pursuit of our "better" self become a flight from ourselves?

DIE VERLORENE EHRE DER KATHARINA BLUM
12/21/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

"If there appear to be similarities between the practices of certain journalists and those of the Bild newspaper, then these similarities are neither intentional nor coincidental, but inevitable," begins Nobel laureate Heinrich Böll in his 1974 narrative. He delicately describes the absurdities of reporting, portraying Katharina Blum’s fate as a media spectacle, a precursor to today's age of online public shaming.

Katharina Blum becomes a "person of contemporary history" in the press's attention because she is believed to have helped a wanted criminal escape. Throughout the investigation, her statements are taken out of context, witness reports are misquoted, and her privacy is grossly violated in the public eye until she ultimately shoots a journalist during a planned interview in her apartment.

ALL DAS SCHÖNE - Schauspiel von Duncan Macmillan
12/31/2024 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

The protagonist in Duncan Macmillan's monologue starts a list of everything beautiful in the world at the age of seven. Everything that makes life worth living. The list is meant to reach a thousand: it is supposed to be a gift for his mother and change her view of the world after her suicide attempt. Throughout his life, the list grows longer and more complex, adding items such as: 341: Alcohol. 9995: Falling in love. 253263: The feeling of peace after realizing that, even though you're in a tough spot, there's nothing you can do about it. Collecting all the beautiful things becomes his personal strategy to face life and to counter it with unwavering optimism. Until the list ultimately even cracks the million.
Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe have succeeded in creating a great, bright story with their monologue premiered in 2013 and performed numerous times. ALL DAS SCHÖNE is an ode to life, which tells with a lot of humor and tenderness about everything that makes life worth living and what sometimes makes one despair, without losing hope.

WHITE PASSING - Schauspiel von Sarah Kilter
1/7/2025 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

It is November 1st, the birthday of the protagonist in White Passing and Algerian Day of Revolution. A doubling that always triggers her a bit. And so she sits, as often, alone in the Einstein café at Savignyplatz and feels more connected than usual to her secret, second side: her migration background, which is not visible in her and which no one suspects from her name. When she arrives home and discovers the leased plug-in hybrid SUV of Jule and Thomas as well as Max's racing bike in front of the door, she flees from the surprise party to Badstraße in Wedding and into her past.
WHITE PASSING humorously and with great self-irony deals with attributions and the question of identity. In doing so, author Sarah Kilter cleverly bridges the concrete story of a young woman to socially critical observations about Germany and the Germans.

Fliegende Eier von Sarajevo - eine Familienrecherche
1/17/2025 at 8:00 PM / Berlin

In German with German and English surtitles

At the center of the evening FLIEGENDE EIER VON SARAJEVO is the story of Senna, who was born in Germany during the Bosnian war (1992-95) and thus at a time that no one in her family talks about: there is only the time before the war and the time after, the in-between is kept silent. Growing up between two cultures, simultaneously part of her family´s history and yet always only an observer and belonging to another world, Senna begins to question and understand as she grows up.

FLIEGENDE EIER VON SARAJEVO is a search, a family investigation and the question of home, origin and identity. The evening takes a very private look at the Bosnian war in the former Yugoslavia and examines its aftermath and effects from the perspective of a family that fled from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Germany. A total of 350,000 people came to Germany. Most of them returned after the war, while around 20,000 people remained in Germany.

The successful RBB series "Warten auf´n Bus" by Oliver Bukowski, Anne Rabe, and Sophie Decker portrays a picture of Brandenburg's province contrary to common clichés. With a lot of heart, it tells the story of two friends, alongside whom a piece of German history can also be traced, but who are primarily just two people with heart and humor. Director Christine Hofer adapts the series for the theater and brings "Warten auf´n Bus" to the Vaganten stage.
