Akademietheater Vienna – Schedule, Program & Tickets

Akademietheater

Designed by the architects Fellner & Hellmer and Ludwig Baumann and built between 1911 and 1913, the Akademietheater has been the Burgtheater’s second venue since 1922. After many years of requests from ensemble members of the Burgtheater who wanted a second stage of more intimate dimensions, Max Paulsen succeeded in affiliating the “Theatre of the Academy of Music and the Performing Arts”, for brevity 's sake called Akademietheater, to the Burgtheater as a smaller, second venue. It was inaugurated on September 8, 1922, with a performance of Goethe’s Iphigenia in Tauris. After the Second World War, which the building survived intact, the theatre was re-opened on May 19, 1945, under the direction of Raoul Aslan with Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. The Akademietheater was refurbished and technically upgraded in 1974 and in 1999.

Director Lucia Bihler translates this iconic parable into a series of transformation phases that address questions about loneliness, loss of trust, powerlessness and the urge to survive in today's world. In this way, she approaches the story of the modern prodigy Franz Kafka, who was born in Prague in 1883 and died in Kierling, near Vienna, in 1924, a century ago, in a pictorial, very physical way.

Professor Gollwitz, a small-town high school professor struggling with financial and domestic worries, has succumbed to his secret passion for theater. When the theater director Striese happened to be visiting the city with his traveling theater troupe, he found out that the professor was hiding the play THE ROBBER OF THE SABINE WOMEN in a drawer from his wife. The Schreientheater director Striese, who is quick-witted in all situations, elicits the stroke of genius from the author, who initially refuses, and prepares its performance. Before the play sees the light of day, the professor's wife returns unexpectedly from the spa, and the family catastrophe with impending embarrassment takes its course.
