»Empusion« in Cologne - Thank you for this honour!

What a tribute to »Empusion« on 3 November 2024 at Schauspiel Köln. We celebrated the premiere on the Rhine with the Mayor of Cologne Henriette Reker, Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer and NRW's Minister of Culture Ina Brandes.

Our German-language co-production with Theater Basel, Schauspiel Köln and Staatstheater Cottbus premiered at the Lausitz Festival 2024 in Forst in September. The play is based on Olga Tokarczuk's natural (un)healing horror story of the same name - a masterful Silesian version of »The Magic Mountain«.

And the tour continues. After Cologne, »Empusion«  can be seen in Basel - from April 2025.
