Fischer Fritz at the Munich Volkstheater: The performance on October 25, 2026 is cancelled

The play Fischer Fritz by Raphaela Bardutzky was scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 20:00 at the Munich Volkstheater, Stage 3. The performance is cancelled due to illness. Already purchased tickets will be processed via email according to the box office.

A tongue-twisting word play about home and foreignness

At the center of the production is the old fisherman Fritz, for whom fishing is finally over after a stroke. Nevertheless, he clings to his house by the river, where his father and grandfather previously engaged in the family business. His son Franz has turned his back on the province and opened a hair salon in Munich. The family encounter becomes a precise play about age, origin, and the demands of change.

Dramaturgy between comedy and quiet melancholy

Raphaela Bardutzky combines playful language energy with precise observation. The characters shed external attributions and shift the perspective of the other party or a narrative voice. Especially the initial communication difficulties between Fritz and Piotra open a space where foreignness gradually transitions into closeness. Piotra's knowledge about the preparation of fresh fish presents a sensory, surprisingly concrete layer to the title-giving tongue-twister.

Production, set design, and acting

Director Asena Yeşim Lappas leads the production with a clear eye for rhythm and nuances. Sarah Elena Kratzl is responsible for set and costumes, Fiona Schneck for lighting design, and Nicholas Zöckler for dramaturgy. The performance is designed to last 70 minutes without an intermission. Changes in rhythm give the stage experience momentum, while lighting mood, acoustics, and concentrated acting anchor the characters in their contradictory life world.

An excellent perspective on contemporary theater

Fischer Fritz originated from a tongue-twister and develops into an independent contemporary theater piece. Bardutzky's work was nominated in 2021 at the Heidelberg Stückemarkt and was among the winning plays of the Author Theater Days at the German Theater Berlin in 2022. The Munich production combines social observation with an accessible, humorous stage language.

Conclusion: A cancelled evening with special theater history

The performance planned for October 25, 2026, will not take place. Nevertheless, the play remains a remarkable position in contemporary German-speaking theater: linguistically aware, empathetic, and dramaturgically close to the questions of home, age, and foreignness. Further regular dates are announced for November 24 and 27, 2026.
