Theater: Dieter Hallervorden: His theater baby comes of age

“Similarities to living people are of course completely unintentional, as you can imagine,” said his daughter and director of the theater, Nathalie Hallervorden. The piece is intended to be a provocative comedy that forces us to think about freedom of expression, censorship and populism.

Dieter Hallervorden (“His Last Race”) is currently involved in the state election campaign in Saxony-Anhalt to prevent an AfD government. A new House of Representatives will also be elected in Berlin in September.

The Schlosspark Theater took over Hallervorden in December 2008 and reopened in September 2009 after renovation work. He also runs the cabaret Die Wühlmäuse in Berlin and the Mitteldeutsche Theater in his hometown of Dessau.

“I love this child especially”

The Schlosspark Theater, in whose renovation he said he invested millions, is now beginning its 18th season. His theaters are a bit like his children, said Hallervorden. “And I love this child especially now.” The theater was born under difficult circumstances and will soon come of age.

The comedy “What’s wrong with the world?!” will also be shown in the new season. by the Israeli author Gur Koren, the evening “The Greatest Hour of Josef Bieder” with Hans-Joachim Heist (“heute-show”) and the comedy “Jugendliebe” with actor Kai Wiesinger.

Actress Brigitte Grothum (“Three Ladies from the Grill”) will be back on stage in “A German Life”. Grothum warned that the piece is a warning about how quickly people fall into the trappings of a propaganda machine. It is a very important piece. At the end of the season, Hallervorden wants to be on stage again.
