"Eve and The Broken Jug"

After the comedy by Heinrich von Kleist, in a version by Luca Zahn. PREMIERE In the night, a jug has been broken in the room of young Eve. Her mother therefore takes the matter to the court of the small village. What happened and what is it really about? Did Ruprecht, Eve's friend, sneak into her chamber at night? And why does village judge Adam behave so strangely? Is he himself involved in the events? In "Eve and The Broken Jug," we give the stage to Eve and follow her perspective on the act and the trial itself. Gradually, the power structures are revealed that lead to absurd conclusions being drawn by the participants and witnesses, and the obvious going unrecognized. Eve must fight her battle alone. Two actresses and one actor unfold Heinrich von Kleist's drama and open a new perspective on the classic, which continues to captivate with its wit and sharp political-satirical observation to this day. The Broken Jug by Heinrich von Kleist will be part of the Abitur curriculum starting from the examination year 2026.
