Die verlorenen Ehre der Katharina Blum

Universitätsring 2

1010 Wien

 

1974: A young woman leaves her apartment to attend a private dance. Four days later, she turns herself in to the police and claims to have shot a journalist. She feels no remorse. What happened to Katharina Blum in the past few days? What led to this dramatic development?

In his now famous story, Heinrich Böll reconstructs the exemplary history of an escalation of violence through transcripts, reports, and witness statements. In his stage adaptation of THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM, Bastian Kraft paints a picture of a deeply patriarchal society in which populism and sexism interact destructively.
