Theater Heidelberg: Erich Kästner
Premiere on October 8, 2021.

The novel adaptation for the theater stage: "Fabian," originally titled "Der Gang vor die Hunde," is Erich Kästner's masterpiece, a wide-eyed satire of German conditions at the end of the "golden" twenties.

Kritik: Anne-Catherine Simon, Die Presse:„Unterschiedliche Genres mischend, gibt [Xell.s]Live Musikder Aufführung den Puls, die Stimmung vor. Sie konterkariert aber auch hinterhältig sanft das grelle Bühnengeschehen. Wie der Schnee, der so oft still herunterschwebt. Das Sanft und das Rasende – auch von dieser Spannung lebt die Aufführung.Check it out here ...
