An evening of laughter, power, and bitter present

With The Laughing Man, the Augsburg State Theatre presents a theatre evening on the Brecht stage at the Gaswerk, combining Victor Hugo's novel with vibrant pop culture and a dose of contemporary absurdity. The production by Armin Petras first tells the story of Gwynplaine, then of a present where wounds become stage effects and the perpetual smile becomes a symbol of a world in constant operation.

Between novel, revue, and contemporary alarm

The material starts historically and then tilts into a stage of the present: a play of classic drama, sharp contemporary insights, and satirical intensification. This is precisely what appeals to theatre fans and to anyone who enjoys a clever comedy atmosphere with biting audience reactions. Here, stage presence meets punchlines that hit rather than giggle.

Why this evening lingers

Armin Petras relies on images that resonate and on a narrative arc that does not end neatly in the museum, but jumps into the here and now. This makes the evening exciting for an audience seeking the sharpness of cabaret, dramatic condensation, and a strong laughter experience with substance. The Brecht stage at the Gaswerk provides a fitting framework: a place where theatre feels electric rather than polished.
