Stage design
At the first performance
Ten bare lightbulbs hang over wooden tables set up at the side, an eleventh light above the spectator illuminates during the audience with the starlings. With the help of cable ties, the chairs belonging to the outdoor area are first turned into a sick place, then a funeral stretcher. A few centimeters above the ground, a bell hovers like a sword of Damocles over sinners who make it ring. In the largely empty room, Johannes Schütz placed a rusty screen and multiple tables and chairs that function as a monk's cell, death bed and table company. The time is clocked with a big bell. A snow machine that covers the stage with artificial snow tells the time jump into winter.
Deviations from the novel
The youngest son Aljoscha moves into the focus of the production, while the other two brothers have been deleted. Little remains of Father Karamazov's murder plot.
Awards
The piece received the Friedrich Luft Prize for Best Berlin and Potsdam Performance of 2014 .
Press reviews
- The detoxification of the novel in the game version is good for the material. The driving forces of generation conflict, search for God and guilt and atonement emerge in the excellent performance of the ensemble [...] Thanks to the haunted minimalist personality studies of the grandiose ensemble, a staging well worth seeing! - Ute Büsing, A festival for great actors, Inforadio, December 5, 2014.
