Reigen - new episodes

In the past, it was not allowed to talk about it – today everyone talks about it: sex. It is undeniable that society has evolved. A episodic comedy about "the oldest game in the world" by Anton Schreiber based on Arthur Schnitzler. In the past, it was not allowed to talk about it – today everyone talks about it: sex. It is undeniable that society has evolved. Women and men no longer have to fit into the same roles as before, or at least have significantly more freedom to express themselves. The church and society no longer oversee every extramarital affair and every infidelity. And sex is no longer the taboo topic it was treated as a hundred years ago – it is now omnipresent in advertising, cinema, television, TikTok, and online dating platforms. But what has all of this actually brought us? Are there really no more taboos, or have they simply taken on different forms? Have new taboos perhaps emerged? What uncomfortable truths about love and sex would still be scandalous today? In Anton Schreiber's fast-paced adaptation of Schnitzler's famous play "Reigen," which was considered a scandalous piece in the 1920s and was not allowed to be performed for a long time, two actors transform into five female and five male characters and stereotypes from the here and now, who meet in ever new constellations – and speak, remain silent, laugh, or dance about sex. With Sarah Steinbach and Thomas Kitsche.
