A satirical fairytale theater evening full of time travel, wit, and bitter truth

With The Lechner Edi Looks into Paradise, the Döringsche Theater Workshop brings one of the cleverest parables by Jura Soyfer to the stage of the Kofferfabrik in Fürth. The performance combines misery, a love story, and social satire into a theatrical experience that offers imagination, pace, and political sharpness. The material dates back to 1936 and tells the story of an unemployed man who embarks on a journey through space and time with the robot Pepi to find the blame for his misery.

A parable that poses heavy questions with a light touch

Jura Soyfer's play begins as a seemingly simple story and then opens the curtain to a bitterly comedic world where progress, unemployment, and human responsibility collide. In the Kofferfabrik, this creates a theatrical atmosphere that combines the satirical tone of the original with the charm of a free ensemble. The city of Fürth explicitly announces that the Döringsche Theater Workshop will stage the historical part as shadow theater and will design the time travel as cinematic movement backward through newsreels, stars, and solar systems.

Direction, space, and scenic imagination

The staging by Samantha Lerch relies on images that resonate long after: silhouettes behind white curtains, a mobile narrative style, and an ensemble that shifts between wit and seriousness. This form fits Soyfer's dramaturgy, which never separates the fairy tale from the political. Those who love theater with a social pulse will not experience a smooth evening here, but a lively play about need, hope, and the absurd search for the culprit.

Why this evening piques interest

This performance promises not a museum-like re-enactment, but a contemporary, intelligent, and visually impactful theatrical experience. The mixture of satire, fairy tale, and social diagnosis makes Soyfer's text remarkably current. Those looking forward to precise acting, poetic condensation, and a clear political line should mark this date and be there live.
