Der Siegelring

Vienna, 1899: The celebrated actress Sarah Bernhardt is preparing for her next big role when she meets the charismatic women's rights activist Marianne Hainisch. What begins as a cultivated encounter develops into a heated debate about freedom, identity, emancipation and the influence of the new media. And suddenly the fate of the revolutionary poet Táhereh (1817-1852) comes to life, a courageous Persian visionary who stood up for the principle of self-determination and whose fight against oppression and religious prejudice has endured through the ages. A play that is captivating, thought-provoking and will be remembered for a long time. Experience this production full of irony and tragedy and the all-important question: How far would you go for your ideals?
