schaubühne am lehniner platz – Thomas Ostermeier
William Shakespeare, “Othello”
The ancient theatre of Epidaurus may prove an ideal venue for Othello (1604), a play that has been described as “Man’s tragedy enacted beneath an empty sky”.
Thomas Ostermeier, director of the celebrated Schaubühne, tackles the tale of Othello, Desdemona and the diabolical puppeteer, Iago, frantically yanking the strings of passion and base instinct. Focusing on aspects of human behaviour—on male rivalry and ambition, on jealousy and social exclusion, on the paranoia of love and sexuality—he gives us an Othello for our times.
World première.
