Representation
It's carnival season, and within just 36 hours, the seemingly harmonious marriage of Fridolin and Albertine is upended and tested. The physician Fridolin loses himself in Vienna's vibrant nightlife, navigating between patients and prostitutes and eventually attending a clandestine masquerade ball. Albertine, staying home to care for their child, experiences such adventures solely in her dreams and thoughts, yet these are intensely vivid. Their relationship falters under the weight of sudden desires and unfulfilled aspirations that they had previously forbidden themselves. "Dreams are my reality": In Arthur Schnitzler's novella from exactly 100 years ago, later adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick titled "Eyes Wide Shut," no dream is entirely just a dream. Fantasies appear almost as real as reality itself. The story oscillates between the conscious and subconscious, exploring the vast land that lies between. "I do not write plays; I write diagnoses," declared Schnitzler, a contemporary of Freud. This novella not only delves into the emotional depths between two individuals but also paints a clear-sighted and critical panorama of Vienna's fin de siècle society, at once flamboyant and hypocritical. In this stage adaptation, director Frank Hoffmann, with a spirited ensemble, will delve deeply into Schnitzler's shadow world.
