Traumnovelle
-
theater
It is the Carnival season, and within just 36 hours, the seemingly harmonious marriage of Fridolin and Albertine is upended and put to the test. Fridolin, a general practitioner, becomes lost in the Viennese night, among patients and prostitutes, ultimately landing at a clandestine masquerade ball. Meanwhile, Albertine, who stays home to care for their child, can only experience such adventures in her dreams and thoughts — yet with surprising intensity. Their relationship is shaken by sudden longings and desires they had previously denied and hidden from each other. In Arthur Schnitzler's novella "Traumnovelle," published exactly 100 years ago and later adapted into the film "Eyes Wide Shut" by Stanley Kubrick, "no dream is wholly a dream." Fantasies appear as real as reality. The narrative oscillates between the conscious and the unconscious, exploring the expanse that connects them. "I don't write plays; I deliver diagnoses," said Schnitzler, a physician and Freud's contemporary, whose "Traumnovelle" delves not only into the emotional abysses between two individuals but also paints a perceptive panorama of Vienna's fin-de-siècle society, both glittering and hypocritical, morbid and vivid. In this stage adaptation, director Frank Hoffmann, accompanied by a spirited ensemble, will deeply explore Schnitzler's shadowy world.
