Theater - Oskar Werner

THEATER - OSKAR WERNER
Uncompromisingly into Rebirth

Actor Bernhard Dechant has worked for more than ten years on his Oskar Werner evening. There were various versions and titles, but he has finally been able to live with the result. The text for the solo performance – in which he is brilliantly accompanied by musician Stefan Sterzinger – is partly compiled from interviews with Oskar Werner. It deals with the deep fall of the international star, who ended up touring the provinces with a heavy tongue. However, Dechant actually negotiates his own alcohol story that evening. The monologue (co-directed by Sophie Resch) is a dialogue between Werner and Dechant; at some point, one can no longer distinguish between them. The piece has helped Dechant to break free from alcohol. But "Oskar Werner" is not a therapy session; it is a theater evening of existential weight. “...Dechant's performance is pure madness: He engages in conversations with Werner, reveals the low points of both his and his own biography, and compellingly demonstrates the difference between a heavy drinker and a small alcoholic. Meanwhile, musician Stefan Sterzinger calmly downs one shot after another. A tough evening, great art.”
