König Ödipus

If "Game of Thrones" had been set 2,500 years ago ... then Sophocles would have provided the template.
Author and composer Bodo Wartke transforms the dark tragedy about Oedipus into a fast-paced, sharp-witted stage event full of wit, rhythm and surprising twists. With tongue-in-cheek ease, Wartke combines ancient material with modern linguistic artistry and musical energy.

The actors Armin Zarbock and Claudius Bruns are convincing in a production that is as humorous as it is impressively versatile: they slip into fourteen roles at breakneck speed and bring the tragedy to life with charm, enthusiasm and great stage presence.

A clever and hilarious evening of theater that shows: Great stories don't age - they are always retold.
