A darkly humorous theater evening between moor, power and longing
The TamS Theater presents The Heart Eater by Ferdinand Schmalz, transforming a story that combines crime, political satire, and Styrian legend into a dazzling theatrical experience. The tale revolves around a newly concreted moor from which women's corpses without hearts emerge, while simultaneously a glittering shopping center is set to be opened. Directed by Susi Weber; performed in Munich with Irene Rovan, Lena Vogt, Helmut Dauner, Julian Mantaj, and Axel Röhrle.

When the asphalt cracks
Ferdinand Schmalz condenses in this piece the great unrest of our present: local politics, promises of consumption, and a pressing void in the heart of society. The dramaturgy relies on tension, wit, and a darkly glowing atmosphere, where humor and threat constantly rub against each other. The official announcement already describes the evening as gruesomely beautiful, darkly humorous, and surprisingly tender.

TamS: Backyard theater with its own character
The TamS is a private theater in Munich with a long tradition of experimentation. The stage at Haimhauserstraße 13a was created from an old shower bath and is still considered a charming, quirky address for literary and political theater. The venue is located in Schwabing, near Münchner Freiheit; the box office and bar open one hour before the performance starts, parking is scarce, public transport and bicycles are recommended.

Production with a precise signature
The Munich evening benefits from an ensemble that explores the grotesque surface and melancholic depth of the text. Set, costumes, and lighting are tailored to a material that not only tells a story but works with images: moor, concrete, temples of consumption, and vulnerable bodies become scenic signs of a world where the ground beneath promises becomes brittle. The TamS announces the production as its own work while also pointing to the clear direction and set design. ([muenchenticket.de](https://www.muenchenticket.de/event/der-herzerlfresser-37304/))
Audience proximity instead of distance
The audience reaction is likely to be intense in this house: the TamS is small enough for an immediate theater atmosphere and large enough for a strong collective experience. Those sitting here do not experience decorative urban theater but a dense encounter with acting, rhythmic language, and pointed observation of the present. The performance time is set at 20:00; the event page mentions a range from April 22 to May 23, 2026. ([muenchenticket.de](https://www.muenchenticket.de/event/der-herzerlfresser-37304/))
Conclusion
The Heart Eater promises a theater evening full of black humor, poetic intensification, and societal friction. Those who crave an intense, image-rich, and clever theatrical experience at TamS should witness this date live. ([muenchenticket.de](https://www.muenchenticket.de/event/der-herzerlfresser-37304/))
