with: Sabine Ladurner, Viktoria Obermarzoner, Patrizia Pfeifer Concept und directing: Joachim Gottfried Goller Concept und dramaturgy: Armela Madreiter Equipment: Mirjam Falkensteiner Compulsory military service was suspended in Italy in 2005. However, since the start of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine in 2022, the debate about the reintroduction of compulsory military service in Italy and other European countries has become topical again. But what does it actually mean to join the military? What happens there and what is the historical background to this question? What values, convictions and constraints are hidden behind the term Naia? What role do ideas of masculinity, body images and violence play? And how does the military relate to the nation state? "Über di Naia" is based on extensive research into this topic and attempts to answer these questions in a contemporary, dynamic and at the same time seriously humorous way. Personal experiences are often shared in the company of people who lived through the time of general conscription. Some talk with a nostalgic note about the comradeship or the food, while others tell of unpleasant experiences such as mustering, abuse of power, violence and homophobia in the barracks. There is a rich oral storytelling tradition around this topic. Director Joachim Gottfried Goller and dramaturge Armela Madreiter have collected these stories in extensive interviews. In "Über di Naia" they are presented in the form of fragmented such as information brochures, legal texts and newspaper articles. Later, these are mixed with historical personalities and current discussions in online forums on the topic. Together, the texts and stories form a dense fabric of voices that are interpreted by the actresses in a variety of ways - sometimes musically, sometimes lyrically, sometimes playfully. When asked about the motivation behind this piece, Madreiter explains: In one of our interviews, someone said: A weapon is only there to kill someone. You have to remember that. I have to admit to myself that I tend to forget that. We were also repeatedly met with astonishment during the trial: why anything about the Naia? - The fact that the military apparatus is nothing more than an institution for preparing for war is something that is generally forgotten. Talking about the military or analysing the institution of Naia using various means and forms, is perhaps another way of dealing with the devastating possibility of a new war in several European countries.

At the start of the comedy, Viola asks: ‘What is the name of this country?’ The woman rescued from a shipwreck has been washed up on an unknown coast. Alone and a stranger, she has no idea where she has set foot. Anything seems possible in this land. There are no limits to love. Everyone enters into a relationship with everyone. There is wild desire and seduction, a frenzy of love and intoxicating activity. In the end, no one gets the one they wanted at the beginning, but there is still a big party, as if this crazy trip, playing with identities, self-reflections, disguises, mix-ups, aberrations and craziness could have a happy ending.

In Italian language. Con il suo primo testo di prosa e la sua prima regia, Caterina Guzzanti affronta un tema universale e su cui il dibattito oggi è più aperto e vivo che mai. Secondo lei è uno spettacolo sulla fragilità: un lungo, intimo, delicato flusso di pensiero, dal punto di vista femminile, sulle dinamiche nascoste che regolano i rapporti di coppia. Una prospettiva di parte, ma aperta e mai giudicante, che in modo perentorio pone al centro una profonda riflessione sulla giustezza della coppia a tutti i costi. Secondo lei è una storia sulla crisi tanto del maschio quanto della femmina, nella quale dolore e ironia convivono nel paradosso della coppia, in cui ognuno riconoscerà tante storie. L’amore idealizzato come luogo sicuro e salubre diventa negazione quotidiana e sistematica del bisogno e del desiderio altrui: un silenzioso campo di battaglia in cui fraintendimenti e necessità affondano, mentre il solo imbarazzante desiderio sarebbe quello di essere capiti, accettati e perdonati. Da dove viene la sensazione che per diventare adulti ci si debba rifugiare nell’altra persona anziché investire nella propria indipendenza? Secondo lei è una voce in attesa di “secondo lui”. Nel frattempo si arrangia con quel poco che le è dato sapere, secondo lei. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

by Eugene O'Neill A terribly nice family The abysmal life of a family, told in a single day, between morning and midnight: the Tyrones are finally reunited after a long time. And there are arguments, as so often. Father James, once a successful stage hero, tyrannises the family with his avarice. Mother Mary, once a beauty queen, has not been through her first rehab programme. Like his father, son James is an actor, cynic and drinker. And the younger son Edmund suffers from tuberculosis, which is trivialised as summer flu. Success and contentment gradually turn out to be self-deception. Only Mary still harbours hope for the ‘tiny measure of love that exceeds the measure of hate’. Judith Rosmair, Peter Kremer (known from the TV series ‘Siska’, among others), Igor Karbus and Fabian Stromberger uncover the psychological wounds of the family members they portray layer by layer. Nobel Prize winner Eugene O'Neill himself stipulated that his autobiographically motivated play would only be premiered after his death. Today it is one of the classics of American drama, honoured with the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award, among others.

BALLADE is the tale of an era, or rather two. A diptych, between autobiography and desire for care, loneliness and spirit of community: the present day with its bewilderments is the focus of Elegia by Morelli, while the 1970s and 1980s are portrayed in the choreography that gives the entire show its name, Ballade by Bigonzetti. The pieces accompany the audience on a journey between different generations. Bigonzetti's choreography is sewn onto a musical dramaturgy that draws on Prince, Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen and the CCCP and is inspired by one of the most significant literary voices of the time, that of Pier Vittorio Tondelli. Morelli's Elegy was born around Frédéric Chopin. Within and in opposition to the music, the eight bodies of dancers seem to want to go beyond themselves in search of the care of the other. Tears of poems by Mariangela Gualtieri approach this fragile and hesitant humanity not devoid of impulses of the soul. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

A picture from the past is sent anonymously to Jesko's mobile phone. Out of nowhere, he is confronted with something that he had actually buried deep in the turmoil of his youth at Catholic boarding school. What actually happened back then? Memories of Father Stein, who regularly photographed the pupils back then, come to mind. The search for the sender of the picture begins, but also the search for the truth and how to deal with a time at school that was perhaps more traumatising than he would like to admit. Three former schoolmates are sought out. All of them have taken different paths in life, have different memories of what happened and have different ways of dealing with the events that are now being set in motion.

Teresa Reichl (D): ‘Bis jetzt’. Bayerischer Kabarettpreis ‘Senkrechtstarter’ 2023 Finalistin 20. Hamburger Comedy Pokal 2022 Jugendkulturpreis Dingolfing 2021 Kulturförderpreis Regensburg 2021 Teresa Reichl is almost 30 years old and has not achieved any of the goals she set for herself at 16. No house, no husband, no children. On the other hand, she has a girlfriend and a three-legged cat. And instead of teaching, there is the stage. How do you realise you are an adult if you make money from jokes? And how do you make money with jokes when, all of a sudden, a depression comes along? Life is varied when one builds one's own milestones, goes from performing to therapy and does not have the fear of accidentally getting pregnant. Life is also an adventure when you oscillate between small towns and big cities, between roast pork and iced milk with oats, between classic literature and TikTok trends. Then, suddenly, studies end and you find yourself choosing which insurance to take out, while it seems like only yesterday you came of age. No wonder Teresa, in her private life, prefers to do nothing - yet she always has something to tell. Very light-hearted feminist cabaret. A perfect balance between serious social criticism and funny entertainment.
