A theatrical evening full of impact, wilderness, and relevance
On May 30, 2026, the curtain rises in the Great House of the State Theater Cottbus for Call of the Wild / Voice of Capital. The premiere leads into a production that refreshes Jack London's famous material: with clear social friction, strong images, and a narrative about competition, exploitation, and the struggle for survival.
From adventure novel to harsh present
At the center is Buck, who finds himself in icy Alaska from sunny California. From a sheltered household dog, he gradually becomes driven in a world where possession, violence, and harshness set the tone. Soeren Voima relocates the famous story into a sharply drawn contemporary perspective and turns it into an intense play with political depth.
Vivid imagery, strong tension, dense atmosphere
The production by Kaufmann/Witt relies, according to the announcement, on vivid imagery and a condensed language. This creates the event atmosphere that makes theater evenings in Cottbus so special: concentrated audience mood, precise event management, and a stage-audience experience that goes far beyond a mere retelling. Anyone entering the auditorium of the Great House experiences an event that combines aesthetic impact and emotional pull.
The Great House as a strong frame
The State Theater Cottbus is one of the defining cultural addresses in Brandenburg. The Great House is accessible, has an induction loop, and offers a comfortable framework for theater visits. The theater requests prior registration with the visitor service for wheelchair users. Accessibility is also well planned: the theater is located at Schillerplatz and can be reached by car, bus, and tram.
An evening for audiences eager for meaningful stories
Call of the Wild / Voice of Capital is aimed at all who want to experience theater not just visually but physically and intellectually. The premiere combines literary source material, social intensification, and a modern approach to audience engagement for an audience that appreciates substantial theatrical evenings.
Conclusion: This premiere promises an intense theater evening with strong imagery, clear stance, and high relevance. Those wishing to experience literature, acting, and social issues on a grand stage should mark this date in Cottbus.
