The Rainbach Games

On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Friedrich Ch. Zauner (1936-2022), the Rainbach Games present the stage adaptation of his literary masterpiece: the novel epic The End of Eternity. 2026: Part 1 / 2027: Part 2
"This literature neither praises nor condemns the homeland; it discovers it"
(Karl Markus Gauß in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit) A remote rural area in Upper Austria's Innviertel on New Year's Eve 1899 - it is on this magically charged date that the story begins: Director Babett Arens stages the tale of the unconventional foundling Maurits and the rebellious daughter of the established innkeepers, Theres, against the backdrop of a masterful social study of rural life on the eve of two world wars - with songs from that era.
And what was true back then casts long shadows into the present: "It is an uneven time," writes Zauner. "There is unrest at every corner. People suddenly no longer talk to each other; they shout at one another."
