Bodo Wartke - König Ödipus

In this performance, Bodo Wartke narrates the tragic tale of Oedipus, the King of Thebes. The story unfolds with Oedipus unknowingly killing his father and later marrying his mother, Jocasta, who is awarded to him after he frees Thebes from the Sphinx. Wartke's approach uses only nine props, emphasizing the storytelling aspect of the performance rather than elaborate staging.

For collectors, this piece represents a modern interpretation of a foundational work of Western literature. Wartke's singular style and the minimalist production invite a fresh perspective on the well-known myth. The König Ödipus Reihe offers a unique collection opportunity for those interested in contemporary adaptations of classic narratives, focusing on the interplay of performance and storytelling.
