Overview

What is Sisi? Where's Sisi? Who is Sisi?

Sissi is a homeland film. Sisi is Romy Schneider, Sissi's face is the face of Romy Schneider, Sisi is Habsburg and Habsburg is history, but half of Austrians are royalists. Sisi is a porcelain service, Sisi is an Austrian landmark like the Sachertorte and the Opera Ball. Sisi is Sissi. So the original was completely different, the real Elisabeth has nothing to do with Sissi. Sisi overestimated herself as a poet and built a memorial to her master Heinrich Heine in Corfu. Have you ever been to Corfu? Sisi was humble like Ludwig 2, Sisi was Austria, was Hungary, Sisi was, Sisi was, Sisi was never as topical as today blah blah. Sisi was an influencer, Sisi was a feminist, Sisi's waist was a wasp, Sisi was on the run. And Sisi put chops on her face. For your complexion. Sisi did her thing, Sisi's thing wasn't Vienna. Sisi was an anti-royalist and she was murdered by an anarchist, Sisi was an anarchist and was murdered by an anti-royalist, Sisi died in the same hotel as Uwe Barschel - that's worth reporting for Piefkes! Sisi was Bavarian, so South Piefkin. Sisi was a corset, a death mask, Sisi was a model athlete. And it is a perfume, a deck of cards, a chocolate candy, a fan, a fridge magnet, a wind-up doll, and a noblewoman - and the aristocracy should be hung up. Sisi is a landmark, a myth, a silver platter. Sisi was Bavarian, so South Piefkin. Sisi was a corset, a death mask, Sisi was a model athlete.

Sisi cannot be brought on stage because everyone knows her better. Sisi is told, Sisi is bored. Sisi is best bland. Yes, what now!
We do Sisi! In Vienna! 2021 at the Volkstheater!
Sisi: There are ninety-nine scenes, ninety-nine miniatures, gestures, the blink of an eye, a puzzle about a phantom, ninety-nine flights of sparks, flakes of ash, snapshots of Elisabeth, the Empress of Austria-Hungary. And a Piefke directs it.
Rainald Grebe is a comedian, is a writer, director and actor, composer, and singer. And fruit growers. And puppeteers, of course. He loves real Indian jewelry and he loves fake beards. And he is one of the “most multi-talented small artists,” says Der Spiegel. In 2017 he sued against toilet fees at motorway service stations. In other words, he can do anything. Even lose it - being forced to use freeways still costs money. Rainald Grebe doesn't want to be reduced to just one song - “Brandenburg!” - like Romy Schneider to her role as “Sissi”.

Venue Info

Volkstheater - Vienna
Location   Arthur-Schnitzler-Platz 1

The Volkstheater in Vienna (roughly translated as "People's Theatre") was founded in 1889 by request of the citizens of Vienna, amongst them the dramatist Ludwig Anzengruber and the furniture manufacturer Thonet, in order to offer a popular counterweight to the Hofburgtheater.

It was erected according to designs by Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, who attempted to reconcile their plans with historicism. It is located in Neubau, the seventh district of Vienna.

The founders of this stage had a theatrical stage in mind, in order to expose wider circles of the population of Vienna to classical and modern literature whilst staging these next to more traditional plays. The theatre follows this tradition even today. New productions of the classics are always in the pipeline along with regular reinterpretations of works by Ferdinand Raimund and Johann Nestroy and many new plays and reruns. Special attention is given to Austrian playwrights of old and new.

In 2005 Michael Schottenberg became art director of the Volkstheater.

In 2005 the Volkstheater started an alternative theater stage called "Volkstheater Hundsturm" in Margareten, the fifth district of Vienna. It is a place for experimental theater (e.g. Wojtek Klemm, Dejan Dukovski, monochrom).
