The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum - Burgtheater Vienna

1974: A young woman leaves her apartment to attend a private dance event. Four days later, she turns herself in to the police and claims to have shot a journalist. She feels no remorse. What has happened to Katharina Blum in the past few days? What has led to this dramatic development? In the form of protocols, reports, and witness statements, Heinrich Böll reconstructs in his famous narrative the exemplary story of an escalation of violence. With his stage adaptation of THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM, Bastian Kraft portrays a deeply patriarchal society in which populism and sexism destructively interact.
