Shakespeare's How you like it: love and chaos in the theater!

On December 29th and January 9th, Shakespeare's play "How you like it" will be performed in the theater. The staging, led by Dedi Baron, deals with central topics such as love and trials in a hard -hearted world. In this story, Duke Frederick illegally withdraw the power by his brother, which leads to its exile. The daughter of the banished brother, Rosalind, falls in love during a fight in Orlando, who has to flee due to life at risk.

The forest in which the exile flees becomes a setting for a fateful encounter. Rosalind, disguised as a man, meets Orlando, who does not recognize her. This uses this to grant him a lesson about love, such as "Opinion on Sunday" reported .

Ballet performance "Love and Death"

In addition, the ballet "Love and Death" will be performed for the last time on January 17th. This event includes three choreographies by Robert North, including the piece "Facets of Love", which is inspired by the piano music of Johannes Brahms. This choreography addresses different love relationships in different phases of life. Other works in this ballet evening are "Death and the Girl" and "Boléro".

The musical accompaniment takes over André Parvenov on the wing together with the Lower Rhine Symphonics. Tickets for both events are available on www.theater-kr-mg.de as well as at the theater treasury at 02166/61 51 100.

The staging of "How you like it" is also colorful and modern. Dedi Baron relies on a visually appealing stage design with elements such as an inflatable unicorn, red plastic hearts and more than 130 national flags, including the Palestinian flag. These flags symbolize claims for power and come into their own in various roles, be it as a cloak or stage floor, as theater-kr-mg.de reported .

The modern translation by Thomas Brasch from the 1990s is used by Baron and supplemented with additional texts. At the beginning of the performance, Rosalind introduces the relationships of the characters and ultimately considers an urgent plea for the power of love. The ensemble is praised for its lively use of language.
