Matthias Lilienthal Opens Berlin Volksbühne Season with Three Premieres

Matthias Lilienthal began his tenure as intendant of the Berliner Volksbühne with a season opening that featured three premieres alongside a water-splashing spectacle. The event was reviewed as exciting in concept but ultimately tedious and boring in execution. The season launch marks Lilienthal's first as head of the Berlin venue. The review, published by Süddeutsche Zeitung, criticized the programming as painfully long and dull. The opening included work associated with Rimini Protokoll. No further details about specific productions, dates, or artists were provided in the source material.
