With this second production at the Schaubühne Katie Mitchell explores - in an adaptation by Alice Birch - through a very sophisticated and amazing video work, Orlando’s queer journey through various centuries of the patriarchal history of humankind. Orlando shakes free of all categories. A creature of Virgina Woolf's unbound imagination, s/he offers her readers a superb lesson in utter liberty.
