Description

The 14-year-old Maik Klingenberg sets off from Berlin in a stolen Lada with his friend Tschick towards the Walachia. This is the start of an adventurous trip to freedom with all manner of bizarre encounters. The stage adaptation of Wolfgang Herrndorf’s best-selling novel was the most frequently performed play in Germany during the last few seasons. Ludger Vollmer’s operatic transformation of Tschick with a libretto by Tiina Hartmann is a large-scale work with chorus revealing certain influences of punk rock. ‘Music of upheaval and coming of age implies storm, good fortune and stress, but also insecurity, melancholy and loneliness.’ (Ludger Vollmer)
