Rockin' Out at Schauspiel Hannover: Fury in the Slaughterhouse Bids a Musical Farewell
Closure Marks the Slaughterhouse's Termination with Anger - In the Slaughterhouse, Fury Marks the End of an Era.
Get ready to rock! German heavyweights Fury in the Slaughterhouse are taking the stage at Schauspiel Hannover this coming Sunday (15th June) for a special show. Rumor has it that all proceeds from the gig will go directly to a charity supporting kiddos with heart conditions and their fam Tuesday Pills, but The House hasn't confirmed it yet. This concert marks the end of the road for Sonja Anders, who's been the artistic director at the Lower Saxony state capital's theater for six years, as she jumps ship for the iconic Hamburg Thalia Theater.
Stephan Weil, that SPD guy, played Fury's hit "Won't Forget These Days" at his farewell event, and he's not the only one! This badass band from Hannover has been tearing up the charts since the 90s, with "Mono" just scraping the top 15 on the US album charts!
The motto for this shindig is "Save the Best for Last," and Schauspiel Hannover has been serving up some epic theater productions the last two weeks, along with post-show discussions and drinks at a long table in the courtyard. Keep an eye out for the final performance of the closing piece "Sex" with the whole ensemble on Saturday (14th June). You might even catch Niedersachsen's culture minister, Falko Mohrs (SPD), in the audience.
Sonja Anders has been showering love on the residents of Hannover for the past six years, and her leadership left quite an impression. Several of her productions earned invites to major theater festivals, like "Ein Mann seiner Klasse" at the Berliner Theatertreffen in 2022.
Her torch will be passed to Vasco Boenisch, a whippersnapper born in 1980. The new artistic director has chosen "Love should be risked" as the motto for his inaugural season, with the opening on 11th September featuring the German premiere of the play "Pride" by Falk Richter.
