Libussa
Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen
Produced by Mike Pullen and Delphine Lettau
"Libussa" by Franz Grillparzer is a tragic play written in the early 19th century. This dramatic work explores themes of power, gender roles, and destiny through the character of Libussa, a princess with prophetic abilities, as well as the three siblings—Kascha, Tetka, and Libussa herself. The story begins with Libussa's journey to reclaim her identity and position amidst political turmoil following her father's death. At the start of the play, we witness Libussa's enigmatic departure from her home, guided by Primislaus, who has rescued her from danger. As they navigate the woodlands, Libussa's character unfolds in her interactions, reflecting a blend of strength and vulnerability. Meanwhile, her sisters are concerned about their father's health, and soon news of his death reaches them. This loss ushers in a power struggle, and the sisters grapple with their responsibilities as potential rulers of the land. The opening sets a foundation for the unfolding drama, foreshadowing the challenges Libussa will face, both personally and politically, as she contemplates taking on the mantle of leadership.
