At the Voices Berlin Festival 2025, the texts speak in their strongest voice: through the authors themselves. These authors come from different generations, work within diverse theatrical traditions, and write across a range of genres — yet all are key figures in contemporary theatre.
The legendary Polish director draws on his own diary entries, written while working on his early novel "The Monastery of Listeners". Inspired by Thomas Mann’s "The Magic Mountain", Lupa’s early experiments now resonate uncannily with the apocalyptic undertones of our time.
"I don’t feel Polish, just as Thomas Bernhard, at the end of his life, suffered from a persistent need to escape the place where he had to be Austrian". — Krystian Lupa.
