Gerhard Polt and the Well brothers are working on a new play: "A scheene Leich" will be premiered at the Munich Kammerspiele.

Artistic director Barbara Mundel explained this at the presentation of the 2022/23 season.

This quote comes from the category "Big words, spoken calmly": "I promise you that the walls will dance on this stage," says chief dramaturge Viola Hasselberg succinctly when presenting the plans of the Munich Kammerspiele for the coming season.

She is just announcing “A scheene Leich”, the new play that Gerhard Polt is developing for the house with the Well brothers and director Ruedi Häusermann.

The “sadly funny evening bursting with music about how we deal with the end and the business of dying” will premiere in January 2023.

In addition to the cabaret artist, who has just turned 80, and the Wells, a freshly assembled brass band made up of Munich residents will also be performing.

The 2022/23 season is Barbara Mundel's third as director of the Kammerspiele - the 63-year-old is even more committed to team spirit than her predecessor Matthias Lilienthal: 15 people presented the diverse plans at the press conference.

They titled the next season “The Future” – it should not only offer a confrontation with reality, which is “quite an impertinence at the moment”, says Hasselberg.

The municipal theater also wants to counter the world situation with “encouraging stories by people, including many women, who were ahead of their time”.

Munich Chamber Games: Joachim Meyerhoff as Platonow

At the start on September 29, 2022, there will be a chance for a real discovery in the Werkraum: "La Mer Sombre" will enable an encounter with the work of the French author and photographer Claude Cahun (1894-1954), who is relatively unknown here .

Resident director Pınar Karabulut sets up the evening.

One day later, the big season opening with Ibsen's "Nora" (director: Felicitas Brucker) is scheduled for the Schauspielhaus.

What is special: The Kammerspiele asked the playwrights Sivan Ben Yishai, Gerhild Steinbuch and Ivna Žic to deal with the play and its characters.

Actor Thomas Schmauser will also return to the house with this work.

Schmauser's colleague Joachim Meyerhoff, who has also long since established himself as a writer, will be making a guest appearance on Maximilianstrasse for the first time.

The 54-year-old will be seen as Platonov;

Chekhov's play celebrates its premiere in Jette Steckel's production in June 2023 under its alternative title "Fatherless".

Kammerspiele open a branch in Neuperlach

“We want and need to bring viewers back – and let new ones come to us,” is Barbara Mundel's motto for the coming season.

This is to happen, for example, with the "Theaterlabor Neuperlach" - a branch of the Kammerspiele for getting to know and participating in the south-east of the city: "Nobody comes here from there by chance, that's why we have to go there." The theater also wants to continue its "digital research".

In addition, video artist Luis Krawen will stage a full-length animated film with avatars of the ensemble based on Leif Randt's novel "Planet Magnon" (2015): The theater will then become a cinema.

The wonderful concert program continues, with a gala celebrating the 40th birthday of Optimal, Munich's most important record store, in December.

So is he right again, the Polt, with his message:
