Stella in Augsburg: Goethe's love drama meets modern questions
On New Year's Eve, the State Theater Augsburg brings Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Stella to the stage of brechtbühne at the Gaswerk. The play for lovers leads into a tension-filled love triangle between Stella, Cäcilie, and Fernando, connecting a classic of Weimar literature with questions about love, claims of possession, and alternative family models.
A classic full of friction
Goethe's piece, premiered in 1776, sparked discussions even at its inception. Milena Mönch's direction views the material not as museum-like, but sensual, contemporary, and open to contradictions. A dense theater evening filled with emotional proximity emerges between desire, societal norms, and personal freedom.
Tensions in relationships
Stella, the bourgeois Cäcilie, and the officer Fernando lie at the center of a constellation where every decision triggers new injuries. The production focuses on the question of whom love belongs to and how much freedom a partnership can withstand. Modern music, contemporary costumes, and an intense closeness to the audience give Goethe's drama an immediate relevance.
Strong voices and clear theatrical handwriting
On stage, Mirjana Milosavljević or Christina Jung as Stella, Natalie Hünig as Cäcilie, and Patrick Rupar as Fernando can be experienced. Sophie Rieser is responsible for the stage and costumes, with music by Paul Pötsch and lighting designed by Moritz Fettinger. Dramaturgical guidance is provided by Max Sauer.
