DIE RÄUBER
2025
NÜRNBERG-Germany
By Friedrich Schiller / How does one compensate for a lack of communication and deep-seated hurt? For the absence of appreciation, and the feeling of not being seen for who one truly is?
The brothers Karl and Franz fail in their search for individual freedom and their simultaneous longing for recognition from their dominant father—each in their own way: Franz, driven by hatred and a hunger for validation, plots against his own family, while Karl is overwhelmed by his role as the leader of a band of robbers that spirals into violence and chaos.
What unites them is what remains after their disorientation: with no regard for the consequences, they lay the world to ruin. Passionate and anarchic, Schiller’s first play circles around the contradictions between morality and egocentrism, rationality and emotion, nihilism and the search for meaning within a chaotic world order.
Director Jana Vetter, together with a mostly female ensemble, questions today’s pursuit of self-determination and the role of patriarchy within it. For how can men learn not to rule when the entire system is built upon domination?
