Theatre // Münchner Kammerspiele // Long Night of New Drama 2025 // staged reading // text: Marie-Christin Janssen // Josef, an aspiring German doctor with a passion for jaws and eyes, and Helene, a successful German singer, are invited to the revival of an old tradition: the St. John's Fire – or solstice fire, as Josef calls it. Both had imagined the evening to be more festive and, above all, different from the other, so all sorts of things go wrong. Even a local flock of chickens with a rebellious German Imperial Chicken can't muster up any cozy atmosphere.
