Katharina Knie auf dem Chabisplatz

Description

Theater Sinnflut presents 'Katharina Knie' in a circus tent by Lake Constance in Rorschach, inspired by Carl Zuckmayer's 1928 story about the decline of a traveling circus during societal upheaval. The play explores themes of family, tradition, and personal freedom as the circus family confronts change and chaos, symbolized by a historic storm that destroyed the circus tents in 1932. Performances are scheduled over several days, with the circus tent opening half an hour before each show, offering an immersive experience in a historic setting.
