Long Night of the Playwrights (Lange Nacht der Autor:innen)

Three new plays in one piece
To the Marten the Pigeon / Gaia at the Deutsches Theater (GÖ) / Temptation

by Caren Jeß, Nele Stuhler and Lukas Bärfuss

One ticket, one stage, three world premieres!
We invite everyone who can't get enough of new plays and lots of theatre to a unique theatre marathon: At the beginning of this year's Autor:innentheatertage, our festival for new drama, three new plays will be premiered in a single night on the stage of the Deutsches Theater. Almost five hours of theatre with breaks for snacks and drinks and lots of encounters. The Long Night of the Playwrights can be experienced on a total of five dates.

To the Marten the Pigeon (Dem Marder die Taube)

by Caren Jeß

Two women on the edge of society: Erike is a nurse and lives at home in her own bizarre world; Theta has left her former life and shares everything she has with the pigeons. City and allotment, animal and human, life with the dead: Caren Jeß's new play takes us into the in-between worlds of an unusual friendship.

Created as part of the Berliner Ensemble-Dramatiker:innen-Fonds, supported by the Heinz und Heide Dürr Stiftung.

Gaia at the Deutsches Theater (Gaia am Deutschen Theater) (GÖ)

by Nele Stuhler

Gaia is the earth mother and creator of the world - for the Autor:innentheatertage she has become the house and court goddess in recent years. The first two parts of Nele Stuhler's Gaia trilogy were shown at the Deutsches Theater, the Kammerspiele and Open Air. For the Autor:innentheatertage 2023, the trilogy comes to its conclusion.

Temptation (Verführung)

by Lukas Bärfuss

We like to be seduced. But not by everyone and certainly not to everything. But those who have mastered political, amorous or religious seduction with a high pile of stakes can easily ignore such resistance. For perhaps true seduction only begins when the self's own leadership comes to an end. With his new play, Lukas Bärfuss gets to the bottom of the erotic and political dimensions of imposture.
