Theater with bite: Jelinek's latest piece unleashs the contradiction!

The exciting world of theater can be happy: the Austrian Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek is again in the spotlight. Tonight celebrates her new piece "Noise. See Blindes. See Blind!" Premiere in the Hamburg Schauspielhaus. Director Karin Beier is euphoric and emphasizes how important this premiere is after the long theater break through the Corona pandemic. "I am very happy that after such a long closing time we can reopen with a piece that is now dealing with the situation," said Beier. She describes Jelinek as the "master of irony", whose works often have deep meta -levels that are not always easy to understand, but know how to establish a clear connection to the present. In the staging, the motif of the pigs runs through the entire evening and symbolically stands for greed and lust for meat, as states emphasized.

Jelinek's return and awards

At the same time, Jelinek causes a stir with her previous staging "Ash", which can now be seen in Mülheim. The jury of the renowned Mülheim drama award particularly emphasizes the post -staged version of Jette Steckel, which celebrated its premiere in the Thalia Theater in Hamburg. She reveals Jelinek's complex texts and addresses personal memories, loneliness and ecology. The jury describes the staging as an outstanding example of the current state of the theater landscape, which deals with political and social challenges. Jelinek has won this award four times and is repeatedly seen as a formative voice of German theater culture. In addition, as mentioned in the jury's justification, the keyword "housing shortage" reflects current social focal points and lets the audience immerse themselves deeply into the matter.

The anticipation for the premiere tonight is noticeable. Jelinek's work not only offers a deep insight into human nature, but also a critical comment on society in which we live. The piece becomes a reflective examination of the challenges of our time, which we experience in both art and everyday life. According to vienna.at and Deutschlandfunk Kultur remain the dramatics and her works for deep discussions and emotional experiences in the theater.
