VBB: Vor Sonnenaufgang

‘Before Sunrise’ by Ewald Palmetshofer, based on Gerhart Hauptmann, is about a family in the countryside that has come into money and, marked by strokes of fate, seeks anaesthesia in alcohol intoxication. This led director Sarantos Zervoulakos and set and costume designer Ece Anisoglu - inspired by the location and nature of the studio in the Stadttheater Bozen and the wellness paradise of South Tyrol - to transform the setting into a sauna, which has consequences for the players. This social drama also includes a kissing scene with simulated sex, an off-screen birth and mild physical violence. Potential nudity is also to be expected due to the location in a sauna. All these consequences have prompted us, the Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen, to deal with the complex issue of intimacy coordination and to provide preventive measures for players and all those involved.
