Ferdinand von Schirach - Der stille Freund

Description

2027 for 16 performances at the Berliner Renaissance-Theater. Months before the premiere on October 5, 2026, at the Berliner Philharmonie, all tickets were sold out. The additional date on December 20, 2026, also announced early as "sold out." Even before "DER STILLE FREUND" has its stage premiere, it is clear: Ferdinand von Schirach hits a nerve again with his new program. In 2027, the bestselling author returns to Berlin for a total of 16 performances: to the Renaissance-Theater, a venue that has become a special artistic place for his stage works since his successful tour "REGEN." With "DER STILLE FREUND," Ferdinand von Schirach presents an evening on stage that goes far beyond traditional reading formats. Between skillful storytelling, reflection, and existential observation, which have made Ferdinand von Schirach one of the most important European authors of our time, a literary theater evening unfolds about friendship, guilt, hope, memory, and the fragility of man. Der Spiegel called him a "great storyteller," The New York Times described him as an "extraordinary stylist." His works are published in over forty countries, have been adapted into films many times, and are among the most discussed literary voices of our time. Plays like "Terror" or "Gott" sparked worldwide debates, as Ferdinand von Schirach manages to combine entertainment and intellectual sharpness in a rare way. Also, "DER STILLE FREUND" is not an ordinary literary evening. It is a concentrated, atmospheric stage moment. Personal, philosophical, and at the same time surprisingly accessible. An evening for everyone who wants to experience literature, not just read it. Guntbert Warns, director of the Renaissance-Theater, comments on the renewed collaboration:
"That Ferdinand von Schirach, after the successful performances of 'Regen,' returns to the Renaissance-Theater with his new book 'DER STILLE FREUND' for further dates, truly fills me as an intendant with pride. This connection is a strong sign that trust and mutual appreciation still carry in theater today. Especially in times of economic uncertainty for many cultural institutions, such partnerships are invaluable. They give us planning security and artistic momentum. That an author and artist like Ferdinand von Schirach consciously chooses our house is a clear commitment to the importance of our theater — as a place of encounter, reflection, and shared experience. An expression of great trust and an important confirmation of our artistic work."
