Neben Alfred Döblins 'Berlin Alexanderplatz' ist Erich Kästners 'FABIAN' oder auch der Alternativtitel 'DER GANG VOR DIE HUNDE' einer der großen Romane der späten Weimarer Republik.

Am DNT Weimar wird Kästners Roman rund um den titelgebenden 'Helden' Fabian, der eigentlich Jakob heißt, nun in Regie von Jan Gehler mit einem sechsköpfigen Ensemble und einem minimalistischen Bühnenbild in etwas unter 2 Stunden auf die Bühne gebracht.

Am Anfang ist da gelbes Licht. Was tut es? Es leuchtet gelb! Stumm läuft das Ensemble in formlosen Kostümen ein, die zumindest vage an Unterbekleidung der 1920er erinnern. Im gelben Licht wirken die Spieler fast schwarz-weiß und stellen wie in einem Live-Stummfilm einen kurzen Slapstick-Sketch vor, bevor allesamt im mittig angelegten Bühnengraben verschwinden.

Heraus klettert in Hemd, Hose und Hosenträgern unser titelgebender Protagonist, hier besetzt mit einem dem ganzen Abend über brilliant bleibenden Calvin-Noel Auer, der mich den Hauptcharakter, der das Leben eigentlich so liebt aber dann doch nicht wirklich weiß wohin mit sich selbst, zum ersten Mal wirklich und vollkommen verstehen lässt.

Was jetzt kommt ist sprachlich eigentlich nicht zu toppen: Schlag auf Schlag und mit ordentlich Tempo wird nun Kästners Text unfassbar gut pointiert und mit ordentlich Wumms dahinter vorgetragen, während der gesamte Cast das Gesagte, mal im Dialog und mal als mehrsprachiger Sprechchor, immer mal wieder mit etwas abstrakten, aber unfassbar dynamischen Gesten untermauert.

Das aus drei simplen, weißen Mauern bestehende Bühnenbild wird hierbei dank Licht und Schatten immer wieder zur fantastisch ausgeleuchteten Großstadtsilhouette, durch die sich die verschiedenen Charaktere, mal vor komplett blanken Wänden, mal durch einen Sturm von durch die Gegend geworfenen Fundus-Klamotten, treiben lassen. Neben Fabian, dessen Darstellung in dieser Inszenierung schon fast an einen Shakespeare-artigen Protagonisten erinnert, überzeugen mich hier vor allem Martin Esser als Fabians Freund Stephan Labude (und weitere Rollen) und Katharina Hackhausen als Irene Moll, eine Anwaltsgattin deren, Zitat, Unterleib ihrem Mann über dem Kopf gewachsen ist.

Der Text von Kästner steht während des ganzen Stücks für sich selbst. Das reicht auch völlig aus, Fremdtexte und aktuelle Bezüge braucht es da gar nicht - die Geschichte selbst ist heute, fast 95 Jahre nach ihrer ersten Veröffentlichung, schon fast wieder alltäglichen und aktuell. Das Publikum darf sich dabei seinen Teil denken - und ich bin dankbar dafür.

Während dann also ein Sprechchor über das Ende unseres Protagonisten erzählt schreibt dieser mit großen, schwarzen Lettern die Abschlussworte des Romans - 'Lernt schwimmen" - an die blanke Wand - bevor er sich selbst im Mittelgraben versenkt und untergeht. Denn Fabian konnte nicht schwimmen.

Beendet wird dieser dynamisch inszenierte Abend mit dem an ein Gedicht von Mascha Kaleko angelehnten Satz "Wir haben keine andre Zeit aus diese". Mir bleibt die Spucke weg und ich schaffe es nicht mal richtig beim Applaus zu jubeln.

Eine schönere Art Kästner zu inszenieren würde mir nicht einfallen. Gerne wieder!

Literature

Middle Ages (5th-15th centuries)

Medieval German literature can be divided into two periods: Old High German literature (8th-11th centuries) and Middle High German literature (12th-14th centuries). The only surviving works from the first period are the Hildebrandslied (Lay of Hildebrand), which is the earliest poetic text in German and tells of the tragic encounter in battle between a father and a son, and Muspilli, which deals with the fate of the soul after death and at the Last Judgment.

Middle High German literature saw a 60-year golden age known as mittelhochdeutsche Blütezeit, in which lyric poetry in the form of Minnesang—the German version of courtly love—blossomed thanks to poets such as Walther von der Vogelweide and Wolfram von Eschenbach. Another important genre during this time was epic poetry, of which the most famous example is the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), which narrates the story of prince Siegfried and princess Kriemhild, among other characters.

Renaissance (15th-16th centuries)

Early New High German literature includes works such as Der Ring (The Ring) by Heinrich Wittenwiler, a 9,699-line satirical poem where each line is marked with red or green ink depending on the seriousness of the material, and Das Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools) by Sebastian Brant, a satirical allegory that contains the ship of fools trope.

Other important authors are satirist and poet Thomas Murner, humanist Sebastian Franck, and poets Johannes von Tepl and Oswald von Wolkenstein.

Baroque (16th-17th centuries)

The Baroque period is characterized by works that reflected the experiences of the Thirty Years’ War and tragedies (Trauerspiele) on Classical themes, the latter were written by authors such as Andreas Gryphius and Daniel Caspar von Lohenstein. The most famous work is Der abenteuerliche Simplicissimus (Simplicius Simplicissimus) by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen, a picaresque novel that narrates the adventures of the naïve Simplicissimus.

Enlightenment (17th-18th centuries)

The most important writers of the Enlightenment are Christian Felix Weiße, Christoph Martin Wieland, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and Johann Gottfried Herder.

The Age of Reason saw the emergence of two literary movements: Empfindsamkeit (sentimental style) and Sturm und Drang (storm and stress). The first one intended to express true and natural feelings and featured sudden mood changes. The latter movement was characterized by individual subjectivity and extremes of emotion in response to the rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment.

Weimar Classicism (18th-19th centuries)

The main drivers behind Weimar Classicism, which synthesized ideas from Classicism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism, were Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 

During this period, Schiller published Die Bürgschaft (The Pledge), a ballad based on the legend of Damon and Pythias found in the Latin Fabulae, and Don Karlos (Don Carlos), a historical tragedy about Carlos, Prince of Asturias, while Goethe wrote Egmont, a play heavily influenced by Shakespearean tragedy, and Faust, a tragic play in which the main character sells his soul to the devil that is considered the greatest work of German literature.

Romanticism (18th-19th centuries)

Important Romantic writers include E. T. A. Hoffmann, author of Der Sandmann (The Sandman), a short story based on the mythical character of said name that puts people to sleep by sprinkling sand on their eyes; Heinrich von Kleist, who wrote Das Kätchen von Heilbronn (The Little Catherine of Heilbronn), a drama set in Swabia in the Middle Ages; Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, author of Das Marmorbild (The Marble Statue), a novella about a man who struggles to choose between piety and a world of art, and Novalis, author of Hymnen an die Nacht (Hymns to the Night), a collection of six poems.

Folk tales collected by the Brothers Grimm became very popular during the Romantic period, as they represented a pure form of national literature and culture.

Biedermeier and Young Germany (19th century)

The Biedermeier period contrasts with the Romantic era and is best exemplified by poets Adelbert von Chamisso, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, and Wilhelm Müller.

Young Germany was a youth movement whose main proponents were Karl Gutzkow, Ludolf Wienbarg, and Theodor Mundt.

Realism and Naturalism (19th century)

The most representatives realist authors are Gustav Freytag, Theodor Fontane, and Theodor Storm, while Gerhart Hauptmann was the most important naturalist writer.

Weimar literature (20th century)

During the Weimar Republic, writers such as Erich Maria Remarque, Heinrich Mann, and Thomas Mann presented a bleak look at the world and the failure of politics and society.

Expressionism (20th century)

As a modernist movement, Expressionism presented the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it for emotional effect. Famous authors include novelists Alfred Döblin and Franz Kafka, playwrights Ernst Toller and Georg Kaiser, and poets August Stramm and Else Lasker-Schüler.

Neue Sachlichkeit (20th century)

Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) arose as a reaction against expressionism and was characterized by its political perspective on reality and portrayal of dystopias in an emotionless reporting style, showing cynicism about humanity. Authors associated with this movement include Erich Kästner, Hans Fallada, and Irmgard Keun.

Nazi Germany (1933-1945)

During the Nazi regime, some authors went into exile, while others submitted to censorship. The former, who either were of Jewish ancestry or opposed the regime for political reasons, include writers Alice Rühle-Gerstel and Anna Seghers, playwright Bertolt Brecht, and poet and novelist Hermann Hesse/Emil Sinclair.

Those who stayed and engaged in inner emigration include writer Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen, poet and essayist Gottfried Benn, writer Hans Blüher, and poet and novelist Ricarda Huch.

Post-war literature (20th century)

The most famous authors in West Germany were Edgar Hilsenrath, Günter Grass, Heinrich Böll, and Group 47, a group of participants in writers’ meetings invited by Hans Werner Richter.

East German writers include Christa Wolf, Heiner Müller, Reiner Kunze, and Sarah Kirsch.

Contemporary literature (21st century)

Fantasy and science fiction authors include Andreas Eschbach, Frank Schätzing, and Wolfgang Hohlbein. Some of the most important poets are Aldona Gustas, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, and Jürgen Becker. Thriller is best represented by Ingrid Noll. Fiction novelists include Herta Müller, Siegfried Lenz, and Wilhelm Genazino.

Dr. Grissom never remembered to call her and she didn’t call anymore. On Christmas Eve, though, he received a package with no sender.

He unwrapped it with curiosity and inside, protected by balled-up papers, he found a framed print depicting three specimens of Cymindis: miliaris, homagrica and axillaris, each bigger colored image of a specimen had a smaller copy by its side drawn in black and white.

Dr. Grissom stared at it, surprised by that unexpected arrival, but appreciating its style – of which he knew the author – and the precision of its details. He knew where to hang it: there was some free space on a wall of his studio at home that seemed to have waited for that. He had been so entranced by the print, that he noticed the card accompanying it only some moments later. He pulled it out of a little envelope and a barely readable calligraphy showed up before his eyes: I hope it’s not a… He could not read the following word, but below it, he could easily read:  Merry Christmas. Sara Sidle.

He suddenly remembered that he had never called her back and decided to not waste any more time.

“Hello?”

The voice of Miss Sidle came out of a hubbub and sounded insecure, like when you don’t know who’s talking on the other side of the line. For a moment, the Las Vegas CSI agent didn’t know how to introduce himself.

“Miss Sidle, I’m Gil Grissom,” he finally said, using a formal tone.

The girl’s voice greeted him, suddenly jovial. “Dr. Grissom!”

“I received the print you’ve sent me.”

“Oh, good. Is the glass intact?” the girl cared to know.

“Yes. Everything is ok.”

“Great, I was afraid it could break. I hope the frame is fine for you…I don’t know your taste, so I took the liberty to choose one myself.”

Dr. Grissom glanced at the frame which he did not even notice.

“Everything is fine. There is just one problem,” he then said. The girl was surprised and listened in silence. “I can’t understand what’s written on the card,” he explained, without awkwardness, but with a subtle amusement instead.

“Everything or something in particular?”

“Just a word, actually.  I hope it’s not a...?”

The girl took a moment to remember.

“Oh, yeah,” she said finally. “Double. I hope it’s not a double.”

The entomologist was dumbfounded.

“Double?! It’s not possible that  double is written here…” He drew the card closer to his eyes, but he still could not understand how the letters were organized. “Calligraphy is not your strong point, Sara,” he instinctively said, using a personal tone that conditioned the rest of the call.

The girl laughed. “It’s the thought that counts, right?”

“However, it’s not a double. I own other Jakob Sturm’s prints, but not this one.”

The girl told him that she had worked on the homicide of the owner of an antique stand at the San Francisco market and explained that she found the print among the articles of the stand.

“The belongings of the deceased should be gathered in a police storehouse or left to relatives,” Dr. Grissom pointed out, stopping Miss Sidle’s account with a rigid accent.

“I didn’t steal it,” she protested. “I paid for it, you know? What do you take me for?” Dr. Grissom didn’t answer. “When I saw it, I thought that you might like it,” Miss Sidle added with an adulatory tone.

“Actually, I do like it,” Dr. Grissom said, appreciating her slightly buttering him up.

Something, though, was still not clear to him, and the girl seemed to read his mind.

“At least, I hope this will work as an amends for that phone call…” she said with a bit of embarrassment.

Dr. Grissom stood thoughtful for a moment.

“I should have called you back, so  I  should be the one to apologize. I hope it was nothing very important…”

“No, nothing important,” she reassured him.

“I remember you having a pretty agitated voice…”

“It was nothing significant,” the girl repeated, this time with an elusive tone. “At least, nothing so critical to wake you up,” she added, without false modesty.

Dr. Grissom didn’t delve into the question further but felt that it had to be something intimately urgent to make her call him.

“Strangely, I fell asleep again soon after, so it was not a big deal,” he recalled with glee.

“This is a relief.”

There was a moment of stalemate, then. It was the girl who spoke again.

“So…tomorrow the big feast?”

“Bah! I don’t know…with much probability something will happen that would bring me to work,” Dr. Grissom answered as if he didn’t dislike that possibility.

“A classic…”

“Yeah.”

“Well, I hope you enjoy it, one way or another.”

“What about you?” he asked with honest interest.

The girl was delighted by his curiosity and laughed.

“Ah! I respect traditions.”

“Family lunch?” the man asked, feeling some kind of relief.

“Something like that, yeah. But most likely, it will happen like you—I will have to come to work…”

Dr. Grissom had the impression that the girl too would have preferred working rather than spending the day with her family.

“A classic,” he commented with an unstressed voice.

This time was a thoughtful silence that interrupted their conversation.

“Merry Christmas, Dr. Grissom,” the girl greeted him all of a sudden.

“Merry Christmas, Miss Sidle.”

Ramblings of an Old Soldier Part 2/?

Part 1 can be found HERE

The next day, the Unkall boy came back to the old soldier, sitting on the bench where he normally does, reading his data tablet. The boy had a rather happy look on him today.

“Ah, you’re back. I take it that my story wasn’t quite enough on its own then?”

“Not quite mister. It turned out to be more than enough for my first paper. After I turned it in, my teacher said I could go ahead and write the rest of my papers for the course since I had found a primary source willing to share their experience.”

“I see. How kind of your teacher. Back when I was in school, they would have told us to stuff it.”

“So, what other stories do you have to tell?”

“How about my time in the cycle after the Martian campaign?”

“That sounds wonderful. Let me start my recorder.”

The Unkall child pushes a glowing button on his data tablet, and a blue dot appearing on the screen indicated that the recording had started

“It was less than a month after the battle on Mars; that’s one twenty-fourth of a cycle in standard units. Reconstruction had begun on mars, and the war fleets which were now all massed around Terra had been split into five groups. Group Solar and Group Lunar were the two largest of the fleets, and as such were classed together. Group Pangea, Group Gondwana, and Group Oceana were the three smaller groups, and were classed together as well. The fleets were organized in this way by Grand Admiral Demetrius, to ensure that no one fleet would have to stand against the enemy for too long a time.”

“Since I’ve brought him up, I should probably tell you a bit about the Grand Admiral. Remember what I was saying about the preparations for the battle on Mars. All the meticulous planning done to move the civilians back to Terra, and keep morale up while being an effective fighting force? Well, that came from Demetrius, and was only slightly modified by individual units as the orders were passed down the chain. His odd decision making turned out to be one of the most valuable things that humanity had, because nobody could anticipate his plans; especially the Vrumoids. He was only a rear admiral, but after his commendation, and the first victory in the war, He was immediately promoted.”

“Back to the war now. The battle plan was simple. Keep a constant pressure on the enemy, working in a single spot, pushing the enemy back system by system, and planet by planet. Where to stop would be figured out as the fleets went along. This seemed to work very well. In most systems, Groups Solar and Lunar rarely had fire a single shot. The Vrumoids would either flee or be destroyed by one of the smaller groups before the heavy guns of the heavy class ships could be brought to bear.”

“The reconquest continued almost flawlessly until there was a single human world left to reclaim. Rexorb VI was nothing more than a rock when humanity last saw it, but after looking upon it, the armada called for the command group; Group Regal; to come and take a look. At first sight of the data scans, Demetrius broke down with laughter. Failing to find the humor in this situation, his second in command asked him what was so funny.” “These poor bastards. They’ve made this planet up to be just like Mars, hoping we’ll make the same mistakes they did. Have they never been told that it’s a bad idea to try using the tactics someone created against them? They’ve made themselves the easiest targets possible for us, and what’s even better is that they did it on a mining world. There were only a few housing units on that planet, and its riches lie deep inside. This is the perfect opportunity to try a new idea.”

“With that, preparations were made swiftly, and with much laughter all around. On the back side of Rexorb VI’s moon, groups Solar, Gondwana, and Oceana moved into position, mounting themselves with their primary propulsion systems poised to drop the moon from its orbit.”

The boy spoke up

“Didn’t the Vrumoid forces on the planet notice what was happening?”

Laughing, the old man responded

“Nope. That was a benefit of only showing the enemy one small and one large battle group at a time. According to Vrumoid intelligence recovered after the war, The defenders on Rexorb VI simply thought we were just deciding how to invade properly. They had no idea Demetrius was crazy enough to consider crashing the moon into the planet, and they would have to have been crazy to even guess that the rest of the fleet would just go along with it. I know Demetrius was expecting to do some explaining to the others.”

“The High Admiral may have been absolutely insane, but he wasn’t heartless. He ordered a shuttle to take one squad and an emissary to give them one final chance to surrender. They of course, believing a ground war lay ahead, refused. That was the last mistake that the Vrumoids ever made when dealing with humanity. Exactly one planetary axis revolution after the shuttle returned to the fleet, all the pushing ships’ engines fired up. Each of the ships had worked out their individual point of no return for propelling the moon towards the planet, and had an order to pull off at what their captain deemed a safe time before reaching their point of no return. By the time the last ship pulled off, The moon was going faster than its own terminal velocity.”

“When that moon hit the surface of the planet, the entire thing cracked like a geode. After observing this from one of their comm stations, the Vrumoid Empire rushed to set up peace treaty negotiations. Of course, who was the Terran representative by unanimous vote from the United Terran Council? None other than High Admiral Demetrius. They figured that if nothing else, he could get the Vrumoids to leave humanity alone. But what he got us was something so much greater.”

“As you might have learned in class, our home system and colonies were entirely located within an isolated part of Vrumoid space. We had no knowledge of the Galactic Council Alliance, at least until one of the Vrumoid delegates at the negotiations made a mistake and asked one of his compatriots what the council would think of their actions if they ever found out. After learning that there were other intelligent species in the galaxy, Demetrius demanded that humanity be granted a swath of planets and territory directly to the territory of another GCA member.”

“This single achievement is what brought humanity forward. Demetrius did what no other Terran could do; he found sentient life that wasn’t actively trying to kill us, and he made sure we could get to them with ease. If it weren’t for him, we would have never known the GCA existed, and likely would have been either wiped out or enslaved by the Vrumoids after they rebuilt their forces.”

“Of course, after we made contact with the council, and they saw what we were able to do to a far more technologically advanced species, they demanded to see our battle reports and to speak with all the commanding officers. I remember standing there by High Admiral Demetrius’ side.”

The young Unkall spoke up ecstatically

“You were a commanding officer?”

“Sure was kiddo. Leading the charge of those bikers on mars was one hell of a brave thing, and Demetrius took note. When he got the chance to promote one of his soldiers to an admiral under his command for Group Solar, he spoke loud and clear to us and said “Where’s that crazy bastard that volunteered to charge a platoon of enemy tanks using nothing but motorcycles and bombs on sticks? I have a job for you!” That was the day I was no longer a simple marksman, I was an Admiral, and a damn good one too. My group didn’t lose a single vessel to the enemy.”

“I still remember the day I went down on that rock the day before we cracked it. The Vrumoid commander must have been watching the video recordings from when I charged the tanks, because the moment I walked into the room and she looked up at me, she looked all sorts of shaken up. When I told her that this was her last chance to accept a mercy never offered by her empire, a chance to surrender; she simply said that surrender would never come until she and her warriors no longer stood upon the planet. If only she knew the irony in those words.”

“I remember being at the peace conference, and although Demetrius had only been seen rarely by the Vrumoids, mostly in transmissions intercepted from Mars to Earth, they had seen me plenty. I think I scared them more than Demetrius did, because when I talked about how my motorcycle wasn’t out of fuel yet, they started agreeing to our demands.”

Curiously, the boy tapped something into his data tablet

“Wait a minute, are you saying that you’re Admiral Sturm?”

“Indeed I am. Admiral Jakob Sturm, service number 6556-0293-422-41, former commander of the Terran expeditionary fleet codename Solar. I proudly led my sailors, soldiers, and marines through some of the harshest battles that humanity has faced, and kept my fleet intact. I wasn’t lying when I said that I didn’t lose a ship in my group to the enemy. And after serving 10 cycles in service of my species, I left honorably.”

“So what did you do after you left? I’d imagine being an admiral is a hard job to top.”

“You’re right, admiral is a hard job to beat. I served as an ambassador of Terra for a cycle before I returned to the stars. I found some of the others from back on Mars that charged with me on that day. We were a mercenary group. We mostly took escort contracts or welfare and security for anyone we deemed especially needy. We did good work for a few cycles, but then I had to give it a rest.”

“That’s around the time your name stopped appearing in records of both the GCA and Terran reports. What happened?”

“I’ve been talking for too long. I think you might be able to get a few pages out of what I’ve said today. Better to not burn up all your content at once, right? I’ll be here again tomorrow, like I always am. I’ll tell you more then.”

“If you insist sir. I’ll be here.”

“Until then, take care. I may be old, but I still expect people to stick to a schedule.”

With that, the boy stopped his recording and went home. To meet someone as important as Admiral Sturm, who seemed to have vanished from most records 8 cycles ago, was entirely unexpected. Unexpected, but it will certainly make a wonderful paper for his teacher.

Jakob Van Hoddis

Weltende (1911)

Dem Bürger fliegt vom spitzen Kopf der Hut,

In allen Lüften hallt es wie Geschrei,

Dachdecker stürzen ab und gehn entzwei

Und an den Küsten - liest man - steigt die Flut.

Der Sturm ist da, die wilden Meere hupfen

An Land, um dicke Dämme zu zerdrücken.

Die meisten Menschen haben einen Schnupfen.

Die Eisenbahnen fallen von den Brücken.

1911!!!
