Schiller's storm, rekindled at Schauspielhaus Bochum
With The Robbers, Schauspielhaus Bochum brings Friedrich Schiller's early revolutionary drama as a cleverly sharpened theatrical event to the stage. The direction is taken on by Lucia Bihler, who introduces herself to the Bochum audience for the first time. The premiere marks an evening between turmoil, family conflict, and the burning question of whether rebellion liberates or destroys.

A classic as a test of the present
Schiller's drama tells of Karl and Franz Moor, of lust for power, brotherly strife, and the collapse of an order that seems rotten to its core. The Bochum piece articulates this conflict with a sharp eye on the present: the youth experiments with upheaval, the patriarchy re-organizes, and the ecstasy of freedom takes on a dark political depth. The tension of this production lies precisely in this. ([schauspielhausbochum.de](https://www.schauspielhausbochum.de/de/stuecke/26926/die-raeuber?utm_source=openai))
Lucia Bihler's visual power and stage poetry
Schauspielhaus Bochum describes Lucia Bihler's works as productions full of memorable visual compositions and dreamlike strong placements. For Bochum, she designs the stage set together with Paula Wellmann, Leonie Falke the costumes, and Jakob Suske the music. Thus, the evening promises not only dramatic power but also a dense theatrical atmosphere of sound, light, and precise acting.
