Love and social change in post-war Germany

With “The Marriage of Maria Braun”, a play based on Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film classic comes to the Antoniushaus Regensburg. The production focuses on a story where personal relationships and the significant social changes of the post-war period are closely intertwined.

At the center are love, marriage, and social change in Germany after World War II. Fassbinder's material tells of people who must find their own way in a time of upheaval. Between private hopes, difficult decisions, and societal expectations, a complex picture emerges of a generation living with the consequences of the past while simultaneously striving for a new future.
