SCHWEJK – Abenteuer des braven Soldaten

Sound: Florentin Berger-Monit Text editing/stage adaptation: Wolfram Berger & Florentin Berger-Monit

Jaroslav Hašek, the author of the classic novel “The Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk during the World War,” tells with unrestrained humor and satirical sharpness about the madness of war and the unbounded power of folly. With Joseph Švejk, we learn in a touching but also extremely entertaining way how to confront authorities with a subversive attitude and a naïve gaze in their arbitrariness and contempt for humanity. Whether naïve or as a clever trickster, Švejk ends up in military detention, in an insane asylum, and on the front lines.

Wolfram Berger indulges in his playfulness within the cosmos of allusions and delightful dialogue wit. As Švejk, as a general, sergeant, military chaplain, colonel, and in many other characters from the novel. As in other productions, in “The Love Council,” “The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein,” or “Emperor Joseph II and the Signalman's Daughter,” Wolfram Berger effortlessly transforms from character to character, from the lowest military ranks to the high echelons of the monarchy, this time embedded within sound collages by his son Florentin Berger-Monit.

“The Good Soldier Švejk – magnificent. No adaptation of this rogue novel has done justice to its subversive quality and satirical finesse as Wolfram Berger has now succeeded.” WAZ about the audiobook, production MDR/Audiobuch
