Prima Facie in Augsburg: A Monologue as an Electrifying Stage Experience

An evening that feels the pulse of the present: Suzie Miller's award-winning solo piece 'Prima Facie' comes to Augsburg. In the dense theater atmosphere of the Sensemble Theater, the gripping monologue of a brilliant defense attorney unfolds, whose world tips after a shocking experience – a production that sends law, morality, and empathy into a ruthless cross-examination.

A courtroom in the mind: Dramaturgy with impact

On stage, the story condenses into pure acting art: a single body, one voice, one space – and yet a whole universe of courtroom, office, memory emerges. The precision of the direction meets a reduced set design that functions like a piece of evidence. Every lighting mood is a statement, every accentuation of the acoustics a strike with the dramaturgical gavel.

Language as evidence

Miller's text drives forward like a protocol. Rhythm, tempo, perspective shifts – the production works with forensic accuracy. The actress switches registers, tempo, affect, creating a pull from language that allows the audience to collectively breathe. Thus, the monologue becomes a choreography of argument and emotion, a lesson on presumptive evidence and experience.

Set design, costume, light: Precise signs

A sober podium, a few props, a costume that transforms from a self-assured appearance to an open wound – visual motifs that condense the dramaturgy. Cool, courtroom-appropriate lighting moods tip into intimate shadows. The acoustics remain close, physical, immediate – theater at heartbeat distance.

Audience reaction: Holding breath, thinking further

The play is internationally regarded as an event of contemporary drama: it provokes, touches, initiates debates. In the intimate studio stage atmosphere of the Sensemble, a rare closeness emerges: you hear the quiet pause, the silence after the punchline, the collective exhale in the final image.

Conclusion

Those who want to know what theater is capable of today experience a star moment here: concentrated acting, razor-sharp direction, a topic of burning relevance. 'Prima Facie' is not an evening on the side – it is an invitation to look closely, think along, and examine one's stance. Experience this performance live in Augsburg.
