An exciting theatre evening with great emotional impact
With The Son, the Augsburg State Theatre presents an intense play on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at the brechtbühne in the Gaswerk. Florian Zeller's award-winning family piece tells the story of a teenager who increasingly withdraws, and of parents who search for stability amidst worry, overwhelm, and hope.
Family drama with fine psychological tension
The production by David Ortmann focuses not on loud gestures, but on the subtle cracks. This is where the power of this event lies: the audience's mood visibly shifts with every scene between empathy, discomfort, and the desire to save the characters from falling. Those who appreciate theatre with depth will experience a dense, human, and highly precise narrative.
