A bitter-comic dance of death about hope and humanity
When regulations determine compassion, Elisabeth's struggle for survival begins. Ödön von Horváth's Faith Love Hope. A Small Dance of Death leads to the St. Gangolf parish hall in Bamberg on November 4, 2026 – in a production by Heidi Lehnert, which brings social coldness, bureaucratic harshness, and the longing for self-determined life directly to the stage.
Elisabeth against the bureaucratic labyrinth
Elisabeth has no fixed place in society but an unwavering will to be free. Every step out of existential distress leads her deeper into a world of offices, prejudices, and dependencies. White lies become the art of survival, false promises replace security, and the longing for love transforms into a dangerous illusion.
Horváth's sharp view of the abysses of everyday life
Horváth combines social indictment with bitter humor and a precise observation of human weaknesses. The dramaturgy shows how institutions lose sight of the individual and how rules become invisible walls. This combination of comedy, despair, and political awareness gives the piece its frightening relevance.
Concentrated acting art and atmospheric stage world
Under the direction of Heidi Lehnert, an intense theater evening emerges with a multi-voiced ensemble. Benjamin Bochmann, Ursula Gumbsch, Gerald Leiß, Laura Mann, and Patrick L. Schmitz embody the characters in a field of tension between social pressure, dependency, and human hope. Set design by Linda Hofmann, costumes by Barbara Rose-Andres, music by Guido Apel, and lighting design by Laurin Drechsel create a theatrical atmosphere where the tightness of societal circumstances can be physically felt.
Theater at St. Gangolf parish hall
The venue creates an immediate stage experience with great closeness between the audience and the ensemble. In the concentrated space, Horváth's incisive dialogues meet the presence of acting art. The result is an evening that entertains, shakes up, and elicits audience reactions well beyond the final applause.
Conclusion: A theatrical evening that resonates
Visitors can expect a bitter-comic production about exclusion, social insecurity, bureaucratic power, and the unbroken longing for humanity. Anyone wanting to experience Horváth's socially critical drama in an engaged Bamberg stage version should not miss this evening at St. Gangolf parish hall.
