Innsbruck am Meer von Dietrich Wagner 2022

In the play "Innsbruck am Meer" (Innsbruck by the Sea), the author Dietrich Wagner from Neuenbürg explores the question: What do the places Lampedusa, Mariupol and Innsbruck have in common? In the texts, the shiny surface of the sea becomes a metaphor of the mirror in which we only ever reflect ourselves. In the process, the author's gaze drills beneath the surface and searches for the invisible, the hidden and the sunken. Voiceless people suddenly receive voices. Who are we, who want to leave, who want to arrive, who are on the way? How are we received in the foreign land? Has the ancient legend of the hard-hearted giant queen Frau Hitt lost none of its relevance? From different perspectives and voices, Dietrich Wagner circles around the big questions of our time in his lyrical texts.
