Berlin Shakespeare Company - Notes of a Madman 3 July 2024

Nikolaj W. Gogol - Records of a Madman!
Shakespeare Company Berlin - Berlin, Germany
Directed by Thilo Herrmann

The title character Aksenti I. Poprishchin feels unappreciated in his work as a civil servant. The diary is his only acceptable interlocutor. And yet the way he is treated by those around him plunges him into a deep crisis of meaning. He withdraws more and more into the world he has built up for himself, but a love keeps him suspended between these realities, walking the tightrope.

Thilo Herrmann takes you into the world of a man lost in the world with acting precision and craftsmanship. His acting is characterized by a fascinating changeability, his characters captivate with their comprehensibility and charm. His solo performances have already delighted many audiences both inside and outside Berlin, including sold-out evenings at the Shakespeare Company Berlin, whose ensemble the versatile actor has been a member of since 2014.
