Franz Kafka's monumental novel "The Trial" tells the story of a refusal. Joseph K. is accused by an imaginary court on the morning of his 30th birthday, without ever knowing what he is being charged with. He loses himself in affairs and distractions instead of following the call to "think more of himself" and focus on what is essential. But what is essential? Joseph K. becomes lost in self-staging and fantasies instead of taking responsibility.

About Philipp Hochmair:
The high-performance actor is always on edge, giving everything – theater cannot be experienced more intensely. From 2003 to 2009, Philipp Hochmair was a member of the ensemble at the Vienna Burgtheater, and since 2009, he has been seen at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg and on many major stages. Engagements have taken him to the State Theater Hannover, the Schauspielhäuser in Hamburg and Zurich, the Volksbühne, and the German Theater in Berlin. His spontaneous substitution as Jedermann for the ailing Tobias Moretti at the Salzburg Festival in 2018 caused a stir. Since summer 2024, Philipp Hochmair has been the new "Jedermann" at the Salzburg Festival under the direction of Robert Carsen, with the production receiving international acclaim.

He became known to a wider audience through numerous film and television roles, including as the protagonist in the ORF/ARD series "Vorstadtweiber," "Blind ermittelt," "Charité," and many more. For the feature film "Wannseekonferenz," he was awarded the ROMY 2022 and the Grimme Prize 2023.
