Theo- Der Gute Gott von Manhatten

Pölstal

The theater production "The Good God of Manhattan" based on the famous radio play by Ingeborg Bachmann will be performed on several dates in February.

The piece tells the passionate yet tragic love story of Jennifer and Jan, which takes place in a hotel in New York. Their relationship ignites in a world where love is seen as a threat to order and reason, culminating in a tragic finale.

In a poetic-philosophical language, Bachmann questions the concepts of guilt, freedom, and the power of love. The text takes the audience into a tension field between rational society and emotional devotion, between divine order and human passion.

On stage are Ute Veronika Olschnegger, Tobias Kerschbaumer, Werner Halbedl, and Peter Faßhuber, who also directs. With intense expressive power and sensitive direction, a production is created that makes the characters' struggle for truth, love, and justice impressively tangible.

The performances in February promise an emotional theater experience that brings Bachmann's timeless questions about the responsibility of the individual and the destructive yet redemptive power of love back into discussion.
