Dionysus in the courtyard of the Glyptothek: Summer night between ecstasy and classic
With Dionysus, an intense theater evening returns to the courtyard of the Glyptothek. The production by Theaterspiele Glyptothek brings Euripides to the stage in the adaptation by Roland Schimmelpfennig, performed outdoors in one of the most impressive locations in Munich. Directed by Sven Schöcker, the evening is organized by Palermo Brüder GbR Alex Novak & Sven Schöcker.

A play with intoxication, reason, and power
The material around Dionysus relies on great contrasts: ecstasy versus order, doubt versus faith, moderation versus exuberance. This is precisely what creates the special event atmosphere of this summer theater, which connects historical settings with contemporary interpretations. Those seeking an event experience here will not find a loud spectacle, but concentrated ensemble theater with a clear target audience appeal for culture fans who appreciate strong texts and a dense audience atmosphere.

The location makes the evening unmistakable
The Glyptothek at Königsplatz is one of the most prominent cultural venues in the city. In the summer, an open-air setting is created in the courtyard, combining ancient architecture, evening light, and theatrical action into a unique event experience. The location at Königsplatz is central, and access by subway, tram, and bus is very good. There are also barrier-free accesses and an elevator to the courtyard.
