ROSALINDE

Rosalinde was Romeo's first love.

However, only her name had made it into the well-known play. Now, after living alone on the side stage in the dark for several centuries, Rosalinde comes out and reveals the true story behind Romeo and Juliet. She settles accounts with the world and designs her very own love utopia.

ROSALINDE is the first implementation of the new recurring format SIDE-KICKS/MAIN-STAGE.

There, secondary characters from classics of the theater will share their own undramatic perspective on the events of their play. With humor and contemporary, anti-capitalist theory, the classics of theater are calmly questioned, deconstructed and placed in new contexts.

The SIDE-KICKS/MAIN-STAGE consists on the one hand of a classic monologue evening in which the live audience is present. There will also be a digital version on a digital stage on which the performance can be streamed at certain times.

The performances will be subtitled for the hearing impaired in German and in English via smartglasses.
