Rain inspires in the Lendbräukeller: Plattner shines as a lost man!

In the Lendbräukeller in Schwaz, there is currently a captivating play on the program, which is based on a story by Ferdinand von Schirach and is entitled "Rain". This piece, which was recently extended due to the great encouragement of the audience, confronts the audience with the dark abysses of human being. Markus Plattner plays the central role of a writer believed to be lost who is thinking about his guilt and life in a monologue.

"rain" takes the viewer on a tonal journey right from the start, which is accompanied by "white noise" and gentle rain noises. The protagonist, who was once an estimated writer, sits at a bar and tells of his time as a lay judge in a murder case. Here he not only asks the question of the guilty of the perpetrator, but also the crucial question to the audience: "What punishment would you give yourself?" This profound reflection on personal guilt and loss shapes the entire course of the piece, which illuminates male emotions, cynicism and philosophical considerations.

A well -known author on stage

Ferdinand von Schirach is no stranger to the literature scene. With over ten million books sold, most recently the bestseller "Rain", he has conquered a permanent place in the hearts of the readers. The premiere in the Berlin Philharmonic not only caused enthusiasm among visitors-Schirach himself also surprised his one-man show with a standing ovation. This staging shows how a writer is confronted with a writing block, while he decides on a moral case that flows into a fatal knife.

The thematic facets of "rain" jumping from love to death to guilt and constant struggle for neutrality in the judgment about other people. The reviews for the piece were mixed, while the stage performance in Schwaz has been received extremely positively. Markus Plattner is celebrated as a particularly talented actor who masters the monologue of the writer believed to be lost with flying colors and makes the emotions of his figure tangible.

other works by Schirach

A look into the past shows that Schirach has not only drawn attention to himself with "rain". His first piece "Terror", which deals with a moral dilemma, also enjoys a great level of awareness. Here the audience plays as a judge and is challenged to decide on the guilt or innocence of an air force major who, in a desperate attempt to save many lives, goes beyond the limit of what was allowed. The staging, directed by Hasko Weber, also deals with deep social questions and stimulates the discussion.

So both "rain" and "terror" offer extensive mind games about morality, responsibility and the unpredictable ways of human decisions. In the Lendbräukeller in Schwaz, theater goers can prepare for a thoughtful experience - and maybe an opportunity to question their own view of guilt and punishment.

For all theater lovers who want to dive into the deep abysses of the human psyche and want to stimulate an evening full of thoughts, "rain" is a must.
