The Munich Residenztheater starts after the Corona mandatory break with a loving course through the house.
If a theater is certified to be a museum, it is usually equivalent to verbal annihilation. After all, old texts should be interviewed on the stage or contemporary ones presented. Here the viewer wants to experience unusual accesses, to get to know unknown aesthetics. In short: you want to discover "new forms", as it is called - admittedly - not quite fresh Chekhov anymore. But what is normal in times of the virus?
Is there a “place for the unreal?” Asks Noah Saavedra in the foyer right at the beginning.

The Munich Residenztheater reported back from the Corona mandatory break on Saturday with a tour of the museum. At six stations, scenic miniatures, especially from the current season, from the directorship of Martin Kušej, Juliane Köhler and Pauline Fusban rescued "Forever beautiful" by Noah Haidle, and there are literary discoveries by the actresses and actors. For example, Sibylle Canonica presents a dreamlike passage from Tomas Espedal's "Walking: Or the Art of Living a Wild and Poetic Life". The house itself is presented on the 60-minute long, well-organized course in two different routes. In addition, the scenes vary at each stop, so that there are hardly any doubles even for multiple visitors.
The Schmuckhof is the only station in the open air. But the little rain doesn't bother Simon Zagermann (right) and Michael Wächter in their argument from “Before sunrise.

Daniela Kranz, head of "Resi for everyone", and in-house director Nora Schlocker have set up this theatrical sign of life - it is entertaining, poetic, enigmatic, delightfully confident (Antonia Münchows "Meermanzipiert") and uncomfortable: about the "Romeo and Juliet" versions by Cathrin Störmer and Camill Jammal - from "Hollywood" to "Performance" and "Krimi" to "Laientheater". The wheel of fortune decides how to play! Four spectators experience a passage together; The start is on the weekends every ten minutes between 4 and 7 p.m. And despite the obligation to wear a mask and distance rules, the course offers a special experience of closeness - of course to the artists, but also to the other three in the group. Distance actually creates intensity here. It borders on lavish luxury, the ensemble, its ability, its creative energy to experience so directly and exclusively. At the same time, it's sad and sad. Because in the heart you wish them all a full house.
