Das weite Land

Quick Info

„Das weite Land” is one of the most important tragic comedies of the fin de siècle. In it Arthur Schnitzler portrays a society that has lost its moral compass, a society that uses the term freedom merely for personal advancement and that senses that a vacuum has been created. Nonetheless it dares not to have any more content and foregoes the opportunity to create a joint future. Production, expansion and consumption form the triumvirate that shines on all parts of life. The continuation of business is priority one.  Nature is now merely considered terrain that needs to be worked, the relationship with merchandise is intimate, every conversation turns into a suspicion-driven interrogation of one’s counterparts. It has not been fun for a long time.

With this production, Swiss theatrical director and artistic director Barbara Frey continues her cooperation with the Burgtheater Vienna and its outstanding artists slated to last three years.
