Theater: Eve und der zerbrochne Krug - Theater Lindenhof

Eve und Der zerbrochne Krug
After the comedy by Heinrich von Kleist

One night, a jug is broken in young Eve's room. Her mother takes the matter to the court of a small village. What actually happened - and what is really at stake? Did Ruprecht, Eve's boyfriend, sneak into her chamber in the night? And why is village judge Adam behaving so strangely? Could he himself be involved?

In "Eve und Der zerbrochne Krug", the stage belongs to Eve: we follow the events through her eyes, both the incident itself and the court proceedings. Layer by layer, the power structures are exposed that lead those involved to draw absurd conclusions and fail to see what is plain. Eve must fight her battle alone.

Two actresses and one actor unpeel Heinrich von Kleist's drama and open up a fresh angle on a classic that still captivates with its verbal wit and sharp political-satirical insight.
