Shakespeare's romantic comedy as a vibrant stage experience in Landshut

With As You Like It, TheaterTotal brings Shakespeare to the Alte Kaserne on April 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM – transforming the evening into a poetic journey between court intrigue, escape into the forest, and the longing for a free life. The production understands the classic as contemporary theater: light-footed, melancholic, and with a clear focus on power, role models, and the fragility of human closeness.

When the court becomes a machine

At the beginning, there is tightness. The court of Duke Friedrich appears in this staging as a system of control, exclusion, and self-assurance. TheaterTotal describes this world as toxic and interprets it as a mirror of a present in which security is confused with control. This is precisely where the dramaturgical sharpness of the evening lies: Shakespeare is not presented as a museum piece, but as a burning question for our time.

The Forest of Arden as a space of transformation

Once Rosalind and Orlando flee to the Forest of Arden, a counter-image full of breath, risk, and possibilities opens up. Roles are shed, identities reinvented, love becomes an experiment. TheaterTotal relies on dance, music, and play, so that the staging not only tells but also makes physically tangible what a different coexistence could look like.

Acting art between lightness and melancholy

The ensemble works, according to TheaterTotal, with energy, curiosity, and artistic consistency on its interpretation of Shakespeare. The result promises not a smooth feel-good comedy but a dense stage experience filled with irony, melancholy, and fairy-tale openness. This very mix is what makes As You Like It so appealing: audience reactions are likely to oscillate between cheerful relief and reflective silence.
