A Stage Journey Through Community, Memory, and Village Life

Before the Festival brings Saša Stanišić's eponymous novel as a stage adaptation to the Schauspielhaus Neubrandenburg. The performance is dedicated to a community, its memory, and life in a small village.

At the center is a narrative view of coexistence: of people connected by a common place, of memories that shape a community, and of the special stories that unfold in a small village. The stage adaptation transposes these themes into a scenic form and invites the audience to reconsider familiar notions of neighborhood, origin, and solidarity.

Theatre about Community and Memory

Before the Festival moves between village life, shared past, and the traces that memories leave in everyday life. From this, an evening of theater emerges at the Schauspielhaus Neubrandenburg that focuses on togetherness. The village is understood not just as a setting, but as a living space where personal stories and collective experiences are intertwined.

The production is suitable for anyone who wants to experience literary material on stage and is interested in contemporary acting. The focus is not on spectacular effects, but on engaging with a community and the questions that arise from their coexistence. Saša Stanišić's novel provides the literary foundation for this.

Performance in Neubrandenburg

The performance takes place on November 1, 2026, at the Schauspielhaus Neubrandenburg. Guests can look forward to a theater performance that puts life in a small village and the significance of memory at the center.
