Festival Wien Vienna: All about Earthquakes-love in the earthquake frenzy!

Wien, Österreich - The cultural event "All about Earthquakes" was premiered on May 25, 2025 at the Vienna Festwochen. The staging, directed by Christopher Rüping, one of the most important directors of his generation, addresses the area of ​​tension between love and political arguments in an unusual way. Rau, who organizes the festival weeks, sees the platform as a forum for current discourse questions and plays with humorous elements.

The staging is a co -production with the Schauspielhaus Bochum and gathers a diverse ensemble of 13 actors and a musician. The main actors include the experienced Elsie de Brauw and the 24-year-old Moses Leo, whose different backgrounds in skin color and age enrich the plot and stimulate a dialogue about social norms.

The performance begins with an entertaining memory of an earthquake, tells of a Cypriot actress. The piece also refers to the amendment "The Earthquake in Chili" by Heinrich von Kleist, who reports on a historical earthquake in 1647 in Santiago de Chile. This literary allusion introduces a deeper examination of the question of hierarchical work in groups.

A central theory lesson that is integrated into the staging illuminates the concept of love as a political strategy. The plot then changes from humorous scenes to a dark dark intermezzo, where the utopia of love in a bloodbath ends in the 17th century. This shows how narrow love and violence can be interwoven and stimulates the audience to think about the current challenges of our society.
