Biedermann and the arsonists: Theater premiere in Altenburg enthusiastic!

Altenburg, Deutschland - The Altenburg Gera theater attracts with an exciting piece that ensures a lot of conversation: "Biedermann and the arsonists" by Max Frisch. On June 18, 2025, the production of the mask factory, directed by Valentino Fortuzzi and Alexandra Emig, will be given a special focus on the importance of responsibility and civil courage. These topics are of great relevance, especially in today's world.

The story revolves around Gottlieb Biedermann, an apparently wealthy citizen who is warned of the danger of arson, but ignores the danger as long as he is safe in his villa. The friendly, but suspicious householders who nest in his attic are a growing threat. The choir warns and warns, but the warnings are unsuspecting. An oppressive scenario that stimulates thinking, as Abg-net.de reported.

premiere break and other dates

The premiere took place on June 15, 2025, and the audience was enthusiastic. After the first swing of performances, there are still a few appointments on the game schedule: On June 17th, 19th and 24th, there are opportunities to experience the play both in the evening and in the morning. A total of 20 talented young people between the ages of 11 and 21 take part in this production, which makes this a particularly heart -warming project. The tickets for the performances are available at the theater cash registers as well as by phone and online, such as Abg-info.de informed.

But "Biedermann and the arsonists" not only meet in Altenburg. The play was also staged in Zurich, but with a more provocative note by Nicolas Stemann. Here the audience is actively involved in the plot, which leads to a kind of "crowd insult" that has received great attention. The staging aims to address the distrust of the citizens towards strangers and raises questions about our own role in society, so Welt.de .

a piece for the whole family

The piece has a central message that is also emphasized in the Altenburg staging: responsibility and civil courage are essential to counteract social uncertainties. The atmosphere of the staging is described as stimulating and keen to discuss, and it certainly stimulates the viewers to think. It remains to be seen how the audience will record the topic and whether the local theater landscape will receive new wind.

The only downside: the Heizhaus Altenburg, in which the performances take place, currently has no barrier -free access, which could be a hurdle for some visitors. Nevertheless, the anticipation for the upcoming ideas is great and offers an entertaining experience for the whole family that will certainly be remembered.
