It’s Kiezstürmer time again!
The collaboration between the St. Pauli Theater and the Theaterakademie Hamburg has established itself as one of the most prestigious platforms for up-and-coming directors. For two days this year, our stage will once again belong entirely to these emerging directors: Since 2005, we’ve been offering them this once-a-year opportunity to bring their ideas to life on a traditional stage. The plays experiment with genres, boldly and unexpectedly adapt literary works, and also explore classic, familiar stylistic devices. And throughout it all, they are always on the lookout for new forms of intelligent entertainment. Initiated by Ulrich Waller, the festival once again offers up-and-coming directors the chance this spring to bring their ideas to life on a large stage.

There is an end because there was something before: a story, a life, a world. Surrounded by goodbyes and losses, both small and large, we set out in search of the best ending or the next new beginning. Is that even possible in a time that feels finite? Can we still save the prince? And is there life after the credits roll?

“We may expect to feel crushed, inconsolable, mad in the face of a loss. But we do not expect to be literally mad.” (Joan Didion) — Hamlet’s world has been thrown into turmoil. He staggers along with it, teetering on the edge of his reality, which he suddenly shares with ghosts. An exploration of a time of loss and an attempt to piece oneself back together within it.

Two gentlemen from Real Madrid engage in a polite conversation in the forest, during which they discover that not only are they both professional soccer players, but they also play for the same club (Real Madrid). A poignant encounter, at the end of which a press conference awaits and a real dragon will soar into the hot skies of central Spain.
