Alte Meister

The Hessian State Museum in Wiesbaden is set to play host to a special new production: between paintings, installations and sculptures, the private scholar Atzbacher, the music philosopher Reger and the museum attendant Irrsigler meet and discuss art, our society and their lives. Director Amalia Starikow, who recently made her directorial debut at the Schaubühne Berlin, stages Thomas Bernhard's text about the meaning of art and genius right where it belongs: in the museum's exhibition rooms. And so the audience find themselves right in the middle of Bernhard's "Old Masters"!
