In love like a beetle. The Käthchen of Heilbronn

In this reading of Heinrich von Kleist's historical chivalric drama, Sandra Hüller and Jens Harzer meet as Käthchen and Count Wetter vom Strahl.


They explore the paths that a shared dream seems to chart for the two characters and, with exceptional linguistic artistry, delve into the tragicomic depths of the play.

Sandra Hüller and Jens Harzer, who previously performed together in Johan Simons' acclaimed production of Kleist's "Penthesilea," return to their favorite poet with "Käthchen von Heilbronn."

The concept was commissioned by the Kleist Museum Foundation, Frankfurt (Oder), and can now be experienced on the stage of the Berliner Ensemble.
