Angst und Schrecken in Mykene - Premiere, Berlin, 5 December

The premiere of Angst und Schrecken in Mykene takes place at UNI.T - Theater der UdK Berlin in Berlin on Saturday, 5 December 2026, at 19:00. It is an ensemble project of the 3rd year of acting students, made in cooperation with the stage design and costume design programmes and the Jazz Institut of the Universität der Künste Berlin. The text is by Felix Krakau, born in 1990 and a guest student in the Szenisches Schreiben programme at the UdK Berlin.

The play draws on ancient mythology and follows the history of the city of Mykene, which two messengers are condemned to recount. After disputes among the founding fathers, the ruling house draws a curse of the gods upon itself, bringing a series of atrocities in the fight for the crown. The city then asks how this can be stopped and what it takes to live together peacefully, justly and cooperatively.

Swaantje Lena Kleff directs. Shirin Javdani designs the stage, Luisa Merz and Ava Mirshahvalad design the costumes, and Pascal Jarchow is responsible for musical direction and composition.

The cast is Kamil Saad Ahmad, Karl-Ishan Barta, Feryal Djavadi, Mia Dräger, Dilan Graf, Anna Kasten, Laila Krüger, Jinwoo Lee, Jenny Ngamou and Kilian Struck. Tickets start at EUR 13.70, and a discount is available.
