Oskar Werner – Kompromisslos in die Wiedergeburt

"Oskar Werner - uncompromising rebirth" is a radical play about genius, crashes and alcohol.

In life as in play, Oskar Werner was excessive and uncompromising. Bernhard Dechant, Sophie Resch and Stefan Sterzinger follow this maxim to take a closer look at myth and reality and the interplay between genius, addiction and sensationalism. A homage to the artist Oskar Werner derails into a merciless examination of how society deals with the popular drug alcohol. For ten years, the actor, director and alcoholic Bernhard Dechant has repeatedly invited the actor, director and alcoholic Oskar Werner to join him on various stages and they argue about art and intoxication.

The event takes place during the Alcohol Action Week 2026.
