The truest True Crime

Why go

Anne Jelena Schulte's new piece, directed by Anna-Sophie Mahler, takes a true story that the media once sold as a sensational cold-case scoop and hands it back to the woman who survived it. Seven performers work as a chorus, moving between painful and comic registers with live music by Zooey Agro and Lena Geue and a strong physical, choreographed edge. It is a world premiere on the main Schauspielhaus stage, asking what it means when private trauma becomes public spectacle. Expect a demanding, contemporary evening rather than a straight documentary retelling.
