Dark comedy with music
What's funny about this comedy? "A comedy is a tragedy without corpses." Only by this definition can one call "The Merchant of Venice" a comedy. Shakespeare lets us experience, as only in royal dramas does, how social existence shapes consciousness. A modern state that sees itself as a place of humanism threatens to fail under its own rules.

Der Kaufmann von Venedig
The Shakespeare Company Berlin sees exciting parallels to contemporary Europe and ventures deep into the political arena. Using the tried-and-tested means of rapid transformation, comedic, popular acting, and music, we explore the difficult relationship between individual rights and state reason and make a sensual plea for the power of grace that grows from love.
