Gandersheimer Cathedral Festival - The Picture of Dorian Gray - Premiere

After the great success of George Orwell's 1984, which sold out for two consecutive years, Dominik Müller returns to the studio stage of the Gandersheimer Domfestspiele with a new solo evening. In a powerful, modern text adaptation by Franziska Detrez, he brings Oscar Wilde's famous novel The Picture of Dorian Gray to intense, gripping life. At the center is the timeless story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth—a dazzling play about beauty, seduction, power, and moral decay. In the dense atmosphere of the studio stage, an immediate, electrifying theater experience unfolds that leaves the audience with no moment of distance. Very close, almost within reach, a psychological chamber play about vanity, transience, and the dark sides of human desire develops. Dominik Müller demonstrates in an evening full of linguistic precision and emotional intensity how relevant Wilde's classic remains to this day. An intense solo that gets under your skin—sensual, disturbing, and fascinating all at once. Directed by: Franziska Detrez.
