Moise und die Welt der Vernunft

© Eike Walkenhorst

zum Programmheft

Based on the novel by Tennessee Williams
Staging: Alexander Giesche

After the award-winning visual poem Der Mensch erscheint im Holozän after Max Frisch, Alexander Giesche returns to the Pfauen for the last time. This time, Alexander Giesche is inspired by Tennessee Williams' last novel: Moise and the World of Reason is a farewell. In loose associations, Williams describes the loneliness, alienation and marginalisation that drive an artist to withdraw from the world of reason – and to break with art. Alexander Giesche takes Tennessee Williams' last words to create a powerful visual poem about the tenderness of encounter and the bitterness of parting.

The Directors Talk
About Season 23/24

The 23/24 season of the Schauspielhaus Zürich will be special. Not only because it is the last season of Nicolas Stemann's and Benjamin von Blomberg's directorship, but also because the eight house directors are all returning to the house once again to work on new productions. In eight short videos, they talk about their plans.
