GASTMAHL/BANQUET (Teaser)
Channel: DeutscheOperBerlin
Date: 2023-10-10

One of Plato's most important dialogues is the "Symposion", which reports on the course of a banquet in honour of the god Eros. Such gatherings were an integral part of social and political life in ancient Greece. The participants - exclusively men - indulged in intoxication through a ritualised process that included ritual acts, music, dance and speeches.

Based on Plato's writing, Elli Neubert (director), Carolin Müller-Dohle (dramaturge) and Ralph Heidel (music) develop a feminist and queer reinterpretation of this social practice in the Tischlerei: GASTMAHL is an evening in four stages about love and community in our time, in which the boundaries between audience and performers visibly melt away

World premiere on 13 October with further performances on 15/18/20/21 Oct 2023.
