Prima Facie in Augsburg: A Monologue that Shakes the Law

An evening that electrifies the theater atmosphere: Suzie Miller's award-winning solo "Prima Facie" comes to Sensemble Theater Augsburg. A brilliant lawyer, a crime, a system under scrutiny – and a stage experience that goes under the skin with precision and empathy.

A Case that Becomes Personal

The successful defense attorney Tessa Ensler finds herself caught in the vortex of evidence after a rape. The play dissects with a sharp dramaturgical scalpel how language, power, and legal rituals discipline the body and biography. Miller's directorial idea – a single acting voice, many roles – allows the art of acting to shine like through a magnifying glass.

Set Design, Light, Breath

Reduction as strength: A concentrated set design, accurate lighting changes, and a clear sound dramaturgy reveal Tessa E's soul landscape. Every accentuation of the voice, every pause becomes a piece of evidence. From the sober language of the court emerges a pulsating monologue about autonomy, vulnerability, and resistance.

Dramaturgy with Resonance

The dramaturgy unfolds like a plea: exposition, taking of evidence, cross-examination – finally, the silent, heartbreaking summary. The audience typically responds with tense silence and long breath; the audience reaction shifts from nodding to dismay when the rules of the system clash with experiential reality.

Context and Relevance

Internationally celebrated and established in benchmark productions in the German-speaking world, "Prima Facie" exemplifies how contemporary theater makes societal blind spots visible. An evening that translates discourse into art – precise, poetic, provocative.

Conclusion

What can visitors expect? An intense solo of 90 minutes without a break, a razor-sharp, empathetic theater experience, and a production that resonates long after. Experience this award-winning contemporary dramaturgy live – in the intimate setting of Sensemble Theater.
