Ferdinand Schmalz’s bumm tschak oder der letzte henker celebrates its Austrian premiere as a coproduction with the Burgtheater.
It is always an adventure to ask authors to write something about their own work. You never know what you are going to get but it is exciting when they agree, and you cannot wait to read their words. When you ask wordsmith Ferdinand Schmalz, you already know what you are definitely not going to get: capital letters. Besides that, however, his delicately arranged texts provide everything that the German language has to offer.
PREMIERE 18 July 2025 – 7.30 p.m. Theater am Kornmarkt
