Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, Young Directors Project: Salzburg Festival

About the Event

The Salzburg Festival Young Directors Project presents 'Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz' in a coproduction with the Theater Montagnes Russes.

A few decades after Lenz’ death, Georg Büchner described his sojourn at the Steintal, a landscape both barren and impressive. Lenz spent twenty days there at the house of Pastor Oberlin. Twenty days that became the metaphor of a life‐long search, and in which recurring themes and states of mind intensified: the gradual shift in perception, the effect of nature, the longing for community and communion with others, his being torn and ambivalent, wavering between religious mania and atheism, between hubris and self‐castigation, mania and boredom, dreams and wakefulness.

A production of the Theater Montagnes Russes, in German with English surtitles. Commissioned Work by the Salzburg Festival.

With texts by
Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751–1792),
Georg Büchner (1813–1837),
