“Der neue Menoza” by Lenz at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg

Stage design

10/1994–03/1995

"...If scene changes are only ever spoken, an almost alienating irony sets in, especially in the case of Lenz. Events that programmatically chase from city to city take place in the classical unity of the location. Michael Wallraff has built a semi-circle of high white doors like the whitewashed rear view of a boulevard comedy. Only a few pieces of furniture, but the light changes with magical poetic power, saying: hall, street, garden and makes the prince appear from a luminous fairytale world, unapproachable to our steps..."

Werner Burkhardt in the Süddeutsche Zeitung on 27.03.1995
