Video statement by Leïla Slimani

Moderated by Peter Michalzik

This year’s Schauspiel-Recherchen are tied to the world premiere of Reigen, based on Arthur Schnitzler’s play. In three roundtables, each consisting of short readings and a panel discussion, the focus lies on the contributing authors, who will comment on the issues raised by this new adaptation: the social constraints and conditions of sexual relationships then and now, as well as questions linked to the dramatic overwriting of the literary canon.
