Der Kontrabass von Patrick Süskind
Overview
Intro
A one-act play with Karim Habli
A chamber play-like dialog between man and sound, "Der Kontrabass von Patrick Süskind" is an intense chamber play about a musician in the shadow of the orchestra, focusing on a nameless double bass player who reflects on his life, his desires and his instrument in his soundproof room. The double bass becomes a metaphor for life - sometimes a support, sometimes a burden, always inextricably linked to his existence. Our production shifts this inner monologue into a condensed stage space: the audience becomes an immediate part of the action and moves physically and emotionally closer to the character's world of thought. The boundaries between stage and auditorium begin to dissolve, as the audience is also on stage, and the text is accompanied musically by a live double bass performance by bassist Mathias Debus. Music and language enter into a direct dialogue, reinforcing, breaking and commenting on each other and opening up additional emotional spaces, creating a multi-layered stage event between concert and theater, between inner world and sound body - a glimpse into the fragile existence of a person who finally wants to be heard. 2018 the actor Karim Habli wanted to realize this piece in "La Poste" under the direction of Annelore Sarbach - nine years later it is finally ready.
