KATZELMACHER

About the show

Katzelmacher (2016) by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, staged at Konzert Theater Bern. A production that shatters false harmonies of polished dialogue, replacing it with a musically ordered tapestry of words and sound, rich in association. Nine actors are trapped on stage in a two-storey set representing Fassbinder's community, with dialogues dissolved and lines thrown to the audience without eye contact.
