Author Raimund, Ferdinand, 1790-1836
Title Die unheilbringende Krone
(oder König ohne Reich, Held ohne Mut, Schönheit ohne Jugend)
Credits Produced by Delphine Lettau and Mike Pullen
Summary "Die unheilbringende Krone" by Ferdinand Raimund is a tragicomedy written in the early 19th century, combining elements of magic and drama in a two-act format. The story revolves around themes of power, revenge, and destiny, centering on the character Phalarius, a warrior consumed by ambition who encounters mystical forces while pursuing the crown that he believes rightfully belongs to him. The opening of the play sets a dark and mystical tone, with a backdrop of ominous woods and supernatural elements, like the Furies and other genies. Phalarius enters, filled with rage and betrayal after a recent victory in battle, believing he deserves the crown of Agrigent rather than the young king Kreon. As the plot unfolds, he encounters Hades, the lord of the underworld, who offers him a curse-laden crown that grants him immense power but comes with severe consequences. Phalarius, driven by his thirst for revenge, accepts the crown, and faces the tragic repercussions that follow, indicating a tale of ambition gone awry entwined with the fated relationships and struggles against divine forces.
