A Schiller Evening that Refreshes Bonn
With Don Karlos (A new morning), the Theater Bonn presents a world premiere on May 15, 2026, that intricately weaves classic material with the present. Felix Krakau translates Friedrich Schiller's thoughts into a new theatrical language, focusing on conflict, pace, and intellectual friction in the Schauspielhaus Bad Godesberg.
When Ideals Meet Power
At the center is the young Don Carlos, whose surroundings are shaken by political intrigue, family tension, and questions of freedom, faith, and responsibility. The production draws on Schiller's motives while also tracing the fractures of the present. This creates a unique event atmosphere that not only makes an evening of theater worth seeing but also worth discussing.
Felix Krakau Expands on the Classic
The author and director is known for reexamining classic materials and shifting them with a contemporary perspective. In Bonn, a world premiere based on Friedrich Schiller will focus on clever intensification, strong imagery, and a dense evening without intermission.
