The Marriage of Maria Braun @ Theatre YOUNG
Thomas Ostermeier's acclaimed stage adaptation of The Marriage of Maria Braun comes to Theatre YOUNG's Main Stage.
Based on Rainer Werner Fassbinder's iconic 1979 film—the first installment of his Federal Republic of Germany trilogy—the play follows a young woman navigating love, survival, and ambition in postwar West Germany.
Married in haste during the war's final days, Maria waits for her husband's return while building a new life amid the country's "economic miracle," only to discover that personal fate is never free from the rules of the era.
Ostermeier, artistic director of Berlin's Schaubühne since 1999, stages this production with playful theatricality: 27 characters are performed by just four male actors, and filmic effects are created live before the audience.
Described by critics as both a comedy and a tragedy, the production balances homage to Fassbinder with sharp contemporary resonance.
Language: German with Chinese and English surtitles

Moby Dick @ West Bund Theatre
Witness theater history with Robert Wilson's final masterpiece, Moby Dick, making its Asian premiere at Shanghai's West Bund Theatre.
In this 100-minute visual poem, the legendary director abandons traditional narrative for 20 striking tableaux—stark black-and-white geometries, sculptural figures, and shadow-play compositions bathed in his signature cold light.
British avant-garde guitarist Anna Calvi fuels the ritualistic stage with raw, haunting original songs that shift from blazing intensity to whispered intimacy.
This is not a conventional adaptation but a distilled, almost sacred fusion of literature, music, and visual art.

Contre-Nature @ SIDC

Dancers fall weightlessly, hover in suspension, and lift one another through delicate, shifting sequences that trace life from childhood to old age.
Critically acclaimed for its hypnotic group energy and magical, moving beauty, Ouramdane explores how we carry those who are no longer with us—"ghosts that live with us."
