Frankenstein

Play based on the novel by Mary Shelly, performed by the Landestheater Detmold.

Man or monster? In Mary Shelly's novel, published in 1818, the young scientist Victor Frankenstein pursues an ambitious goal: he assembles a human being from various body parts and attempts to animate it. However, the result of his experiment is ambivalent. When he finally comes face to face with his "work", he is gripped by horror and flees from his own creation.

The desire to create an artificial human runs through history and is probably more controversial today than ever.
