PFAUEN
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players" is one of William Shakespeare's most famous quotes. Time to take a closer look at the roles in our own lives, the stages of our present, and the drama of human existence. With a sharp eye on the case: Barbara Bleisch, philosopher, author, presenter, and influential thinker. In her talk series DIE BÜHNEN DER WELT (The Stages of the World) at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, she invites guests to discuss the existential questions of our time, bridging the gap to current highlights of the theater's program. Featuring inspiring guests, artistic interventions, and space for collective reflection.
Nr. 1: DER KLEINE PRINZ
Together with her first guest, philosopher and co-host of STERNSTUNDE PHILOSOPHIE Wolfram Eilenberger, Bleisch explores the work that serves as an entry point into philosophical thought for so many and takes to the Pfauen stage as this year's family play—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. Even 80 years after its publication, this tale of an interstellar journey undertaken by a little extraterrestrial continues to touch and fascinate us. Armed with curiosity, imagination, and openness, he holds up a mirror to adults trapped in their daily routines and asks: What is truly valuable in life?
Curtain up for an insightful and surprising look at the philosophy of The Little Prince and the stages of the world!
