Schauspielhaus Graz: New season with gripping premieres!
Schauspielhaus Graz, Graz, Österreich - The new season at the Schauspielhaus Graz starts on September 19, 2025 with the piece "Les Blancs" by Lorraine Hansberry. This work addresses the complex relationships between two brothers in a fictional African country and illuminates the colonial occupation. Hansberry, the first black author at Broadway, is known for her important contributions to the theater landscape and her best -known work, a raisin in the sun , was translated into 35 languages.
"Les Blancs", premiere in 1970, is considered Hansberry's most important piece that represents the influence of colonialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Momo Matsunyane, a South African director, takes over the staging in the Schauspielhaus Graz, which gives the work additional cultural value.

success and audience
The Schauspielhaus Graz can look forward to a good capacity utilization, which is around 70 percent, with 20 percent of the audience younger than 27 years old. Last season, the theater for was awarded the Nestroy Theater Prize by a woman's room , directed by Anne Lenk. In addition, chronicle of ongoing derailments by Thomas Köck was invited to the Heidelberg Stückemarkt.
The examination of colonial topics, as is present in Hansberry's “Les Blancs”, also has its place in the discussion about the role of theater in black cultural policy. W.E.B. Du Bois and Alain Locke called for a theater controlled by African Americans to articulate their own identity, which is deeply anchored in the cultural heritage, as August Wilson emphasizes in his writings. The relevance of such topics is impressively underlined by the productions at the Schauspielhaus Graz.
