with Thorsten Hamer – after Sophocles by Bodo Wartke, Sven Schütze, and Carmen Kalisch

One of the most famous tragedies of antiquity in a completely different way! With just a few props and rapid role changes, Thorsten Hamer tells the story of Oedipus, King of Thebes, who unknowingly kills his own father and then marries his widow – also unknowingly, as she is his own mother! A solo theater performance filled with countless references from film, television, music, and advertising, featuring one actor in all 14 roles! Those who experience KING OEDIPUS in this version can expect an astonishing cathartic effect: Through diaphragm cramps and fits of laughter, the audience will undergo an inner cleansing and are likely to emerge as better people from this evening!
