Temptation, Decline, Desire: Dorian Gray at the City Center Landshut
A stage experience of rare allure: Theater Konrad brings Oscar Wilde's timeless classic to the CCL, City Center Landshut. Between sparkling wit and dark elegance unfolds the story of a beautiful young man whose portrait ages while he succumbs to temptation. Pure theatrical atmosphere – right in Landshut.
The Promise of Youth – a staging about appearance and reality
Even the first minutes sharpen the view: In a precise staging, Victorian decadence and contemporary self-presentation collide. When Basil Hallward completes the portrait and Lord Henry Wotton whispers his hedonistic worldview, the dramaturgy condenses Wilde's linguistic music into razor-sharp dialogues. The set design and lighting create clear contrasts – cool reflections, velvety shadows – the acting traces the moral cracks in Dorian's glossy surface.
Set Design, Costume, Acoustics – Sensual Impressions
Velvety fabrics, shimmering surfaces, a painting as a dark witness: The decor shifts from salon elegance to shadowy back rooms. The acoustics carry the fine nuances – a mocking laugh, a hissing confession – to the very last rows. In the lighting design, the promise of eternal youth glows, while each flash of light makes the disturbances of the soul more visible.
Wilde Today: A Diagnosis of the Times with Theatrical Force
Oscar Wilde's novel – a foundation of world literature – reflects our present: self-presentation, cult of images, moral erosion. The direction translates these motifs with a sure hand into vibrant theatrical signs. Thus, a gripping stage experience arises that provokes audience reactions ranging from breathless silence to eruptive applause.
Conclusion
Expect an intense theater evening about beauty, guilt, and the power of images – dense, sensual, and sharp-witted. Experience Dorian Gray live in Landshut and let yourself be captivated by Wilde's linguistic magic and the theatrical strength of this production.
