Ludwig Ii – Der Bayerische Patient – Pasinger Fabrik, Munich

About this event

This two-hander weaves rigorously researched historical facts into a fictional stage narrative with humor. The production offers a fresh approach to the fairytale king, full of surprising twists. At times, even Dr. Gudden ends up on the therapist’s couch, subverting the traditional roles of doctor and patient. With wit and depth, the piece digs into history and psychology and is described as a boulevard-style chamber play. The two historical figures meet as equals, revealing fresh perspectives: not only does Ludwig feel misunderstood, but Dr. Gudden also longs for the recognition he believes his medical achievements deserve.
