The events - theater performance of the neue Bühne Senftenberg at the BTU

The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and the theater neue Bühne deepen their cooperation. The moving premiere of the play "The Events" by David Greig, which took place on April 1, 2023 at the Senftenberg campus in the Efficient Factory Center, will be followed by further performances: on April 6 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. as well as on April 19 at 7 p.m. and on April 26 at 6 p.m.

Music has the power to bring people together and connect them. Pastor Claire is convinced of this. She leads a "choir of understanding" in which people from different social classes and countries of origin meet to share their passion for singing. A violent attack haunts the group, leaving Claire traumatized as the sole survivor. Her attempt to return to a regular life after the events is unsuccessful. Because the question of why keeps catching up with her. During a choir rehearsal, Claire relives her search for answers to the crime with a politician, a therapist, and finally with the assassin. Desperately, she vacillates between grief, a desire for reconciliation, and a longing to live happily ever after.

Scottish author David Greig wrote "The Events" in response to Anders Breivik's 2011 rampage in Norway. Sensitive and hopeful, the story deals with the effects of terrorism on society. This production was created in cooperation with the Konzertchor Senftenberg e.V., which actively participates in the performances.
