About the project
100 years of “The Mark on the Wall” – In her musical theatre “The Mark on the Wall”, Stepha Schweiger focusses on Virginia Woolf’s short story of the same name which was originally published in 1917.
The protagonist’s gaze is drawn to a mysterious stain on the wall, which makes their mind spin, both sensually and intellectually – leading their imagination to run wild. Split into 3 roles – singer, dancer and speaker – the protagonist embarks on a phantasmal journey between imagination and reality...
Written during the 1st World War, the story's topics are still as relevant today: human and women’s rights, safety, social norms, and the conflict between people and nature are analysed during the maelstrom of events that unfold on stage.
