Theatre // Münchner Kammerspiele // Long Night of New Drama 2025 // staged reading // text: Vincent Sauer // An intern, a general, the president, and a Swedish star architect who has become a child want to love life again: an adventure is needed. On Earth, there is only everyday monotony, endless medical diagnoses, bureaucratic hurdles, and things that cannot be changed. It also makes sense that they should attempt to climb Olympus Mons together, a shield volcano 26 km high and located on Mars. "Olympus Mons" is the decision to embrace what cannot be overcome: the dark times, people, characters, oneself.
