World Premiere at the German Theatre: A Literary Departure with Cinematic Goosebumps

With Walk to Syracuse, the FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2026 celebrates a world premiere at the German Theatre, transforming literature, contemporary history, and acting into an exciting stage experience on film night. At the center is Paul Gompitz, who dreams in 1982 in East Germany of a trip to Sicily, following the traces of Johann Gottfried Seume, and fails at the borders of reality. Charly Hübner and director Lars Jessen lead this story into a dense, moving narrative about longing, flight, and return.

Between Departure and Refusal

The dramaturgy thrives on contrast: a long journey south, a tight system in the east, a dream of freedom and the harsh reality of East Germany. This is precisely where the production draws its strength. What begins on paper as a journey unfolds on screen and in the auditorium with the emotional impact of a modern historical and literary material. The source revolves around Seume's famous travel impetus; the cinematic adaptation shifts this idea into a politically charged 1982.
