THE CASTLE (Die Burg)

Austria 2019, 95 min

Director: Hans H. Guttner

Cast: Fabian Krüger, Katharina Lorenz, Nicholas Ofczarek, Christoph Radakovits, Michael Klammer,

DIE BURG is the filmic portrait of one of the most important theatres worldwide (Das Burgtheater), conceived as a cinematographic journey of exploration, rendering visible what is otherwise invisible: those very processes that are necessary to perpetuate this kind of cultural apparatus. The film is about the interlocking of a multitude of working routines, of the manifold action which has to be taken from the selection of a play to its premiere. So these multifaceted perspectives convey the fascination proceeding from the subject THEATRE in a particularly intense way.

Central to the film are the rehearsals of the play “Disgraced” by Ayad Akhtar, starring Katharina Lorenz, Fabian Krüger and Nicholas Ofczarek who express their feelings about acting, talking about their anxieties and doubts, but also about the fun and the power and the beauty their profession may implicate.
