Staged at a host of unusual locations, the performances will be adapted to suit the venue, which this month is an industrial-style nightclub in the eastern district of Treptow. Inspired by the exploits of the infamous Red Army Faction – the radical left-wing terrorist group that tried to shake Germany out of its Wirtschaftswunder torpor in the 1970s – Die Räuber tells the story of two brothers, one of which heads a band of robbers and is constantly trying to avoid arrest. In German.
