Berliner Festtage takes place in the Kammerspiele of the German Theater in Berlin . The performance with the stage design and costumes by Jochen Finke was also recorded here.

criticism

Helmut Ullrich's criticism of the theater premiere in the Neue Zeit was established:

“Dresen, who together with Maik Hamburger also created a translation of the piece that was distinguished by its linguistic plasticity, grasps all of this. He brings out the comedy and the tragedy, he accentuates the changes and upheavals in the mood. He does it together with great actors. "

In New Germany , Rainer Kerndl said, also after the theater premiere:

“Perhaps this tragedy in three acts is the most beautiful piece from O'Casey's pen, and when I drove home from its premiere at the Berlin Kammerspiele, I got this impression. Which of course speaks for director Adolf Dresen's work as well as for that of his cast. "

In 1972, Ernst Schumacher wrote in the Berliner Zeitung :

"The audience was visibly fascinated by the actors' realistic play despite the unequal quality in the first two pictures."
