A theater evening between adventure novel and contemporary critique
Call of the Wild / Voice of Capital brings Jack London's famous narrative world to the big stage of the Staatstheater Cottbus in a pointed adaptation by Soeren Voima. The production follows Buck from the sunny promise of California to the cold of Alaska and condenses the story into a literary experience about power, exploitation, and the harshness of economic orders.
A reading atmosphere without a lectern, but with narrative power
What is at stake here is more than adventure. The language comes close to the present, the images work with contrast and condensation, the figure of Buck becomes a mirror of a society that demands performance and knows little of vulnerability. It is precisely this combination of literary quality, scenic tension, and political sharpness that makes the evening so appealing for a culturally interested audience.
Jack London read anew
The material remains true to the core of the novel while simultaneously opening it up to current questions. Competition, discipline, and the price of survival shape the dramaturgy, while the stage adaptation brings the classic closer to our everyday lives, moving it away from the distance of the canon. Thus, it is not a nostalgic evening, but a precise encounter with an author and a text that still resonates today.
Staatstheater Cottbus as a powerful venue
The Great House of the Staatstheater Cottbus provides the right framework for this dark, visually powerful production. The venue in the city center ensures a concentrated theater experience that focuses on language, body, and conflict. Those who appreciate literary works on stage will experience an evening filled with tension, depth, and cultural-historical resonance.
Why it's worth a visit
This production combines adventure, social analysis, and theatrical art into a dense evening that reexamines Jack London's material. Visitors can expect a powerful reading in the expanded sense: not mere recapitulation, but an intense stage experience with echoes. Those who love literature in the theater should experience this event live.
