Sigmund Freud is dreaming. How did it all begin? With Anna O.? In 1895, Freud together with Josef Breuer, also a physician, publishes five exemplary cases in »Studies in Hysteria«. Among the patients is Anna O. who invents the term »talking cure«. As late as 1953, it turned out that Anna O. was in fact Bertha Pappenheim, activist for women’s rights and founder of the Jüdischer Frauenbund (League of Jewish Women). With their new theatre project RAUM+ZEIT stage a theatric tour de force surrounding Bertha, her alter ego Anna O., Freud and Breuer. 

The historic auditorium of the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Heidelberg, located on Philosophenweg, will open its doors for this special production. Combining virtual reality and live performance, the collective RAUM+ZEIT embarks on a research into the beginnings of psychoanalysis, focusing on the phenomenon hysteria from today’s point of view. The group’s latest awards includes the Friedrich-Luft-Preis for Berlin’s best production in 2022.
