FRANKENSTEIN - A Live Audio Play

Mary Shelley's timeless novel comes to life this evening in a way that is not easily forgotten: Under the direction of Sören Kneidl, an intense live audio play emerges, where acting, music, and sound design merge into a single, pulsating narrative.

Together with musicians Robin Gadermaier and Lukas Böck, Kneidl transforms the stage into a laboratory full of sounds and atmospheres. Bass, drums, electronic structures, and voice create an organism that constantly evolves – sometimes delicate and poetic, sometimes powerful and overwhelming. Music here does not merely accompany; it speaks, contradicts, drives forward, and tells its own unique story.

In the process, Shelley's novel becomes remarkably relevant. The questions of responsibility, loneliness, and the urge to cross boundaries resonate with full force in our time. The "monster" becomes a mirror of our society – and Frankenstein himself serves as a warning of what happens when we evade the consequences of our actions.

The trio's work has been celebrated by critics and audiences alike as a "stunning live audio play" (Der Standard), "baroque total work of art" (Die Presse), "incredibly gripping premiere" (Kurier), and "a highly theatrical affair, a spectacle worth seeing" (Mottingers Meinung).

An evening that defies categorization: powerful, atmospheric, and highly musical. For all those seeking a theater experience that surprises, touches, and resonates.
