The Ten Commandments addressed on the stage

Die Zehn Gebote

When: SUN, January 21, 7:30pm–10:20pm
Where: Volkstheater
Entry: 5–48€ (depending on which category: check here)

This play is based on Krzysztof Kieślowski’s ‘Decalogue’ a series of 10 one hour films. Each one of those films explore, subtly, one of the ten commandments in a more modern way. In this instance, the commandments will be explored in a trash settlement in 1980s Poland. In this reworking, Director Kimmig re-adapts the concept into a three hour session in which 9 actors play out around 30 plus roles, while stilll bringing the same smart wit, and subtle and thought-provoking performances from the film to the stage.
