Motive aus „Mein Name sei Gantenbein“ von Max Frisch • Schüddekopf

Every human being will sooner or later be constructing a story about him- or herself, according to the narrator in Max Frisch’s novel Gantenbein (1964), a fiction perceived as evidence of the story of their own lives. And in A Writer’s Diary, Dostoevsky predicted that it is not by locking up one’s neighbour that one convinces oneself of one’s own good sense.



Ready for Freddy! is about various designs of the self and fictionalized identities, like the ones Frisch’s protagonist is trying to realize by putting them on, wearing them, playing with them, putting them off and putting on the next one, again and again…Is every biography merely fiction then? Are all identities a free play?


Staged between Volkbühne’s boiler rooms and the pavilion outside the theatre building, Inga Busch and Rosa Lembeck will explore fictions about our selves.
