With “Adern” by Lisa Wentz, the second new folk play will be presented to the Klagenfurt city theater audience this year. The premiere will be celebrated on February 22nd.
Somewhere in Tyrol – a mountain village in the 1950s: Here, in the barren isolation of the mountains – far away from the smooth tourist idyll and Ruhrpott romance – miners toil in the mines to extract copper and silver ores. A historical fact, due to the long tradition of Tyrolean mining, which experienced its heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries and came to a standstill in the middle of the 20th century. For Klagenfurt, Georg Schmiedleitner puts his city theater-tested directing hand into the calm love story that takes place on Thursday (7:30 p.m.) premieres. Lisa Wentz grew up in the shadow of these mountains. This landscape is in the young playwright’s blood and is part of her own family history and the area that she explores, writes about and tries to bring back with her text “Veins”, even if a lot of it has not been handed down, but “only” guessed at. 2021 will be the new one Folk play in the tradition of Marieluise Fleißer or Horváth was awarded the Retzhofer Drama Prize and premiered a year later at the Vienna Academy Theater, for which the Nestroy won “Best Play”. Precise, straightforward and to the point, the press is (almost) closed on the compact material about a single mother who follows the advertisement of a pragmatic widower who is looking for a wife for himself and his five children. “Veins” from February 22nd. until 23.3. at the Klagenfurt City Theater.
