Wrestling is combat and spectacle. While the wrestlers compete against each other in the ring with martial arts techniques and virtuoso tricks, it is already clear who will win and who will lose. The audience is in the loop - but that doesn't make the show any less appealing, on the contrary: wrestling is about heroes, adversaries and their feuds, about painful defeats and triumphs, about compassion and joy, even if everyone always knows that it's all just an act.
Brechtfestival goes wrestling - and the city of Augsburg provides the plot. Like every city, it is a place where different interests, needs and demands are negotiated. On the second weekend of the Brechtfestival, the ring belongs to this "fight for Augsburg".
The characters and constellations for the "Battle for Augsburg" were created on the basis of research and numerous on-site interviews. Pro wrestlers (professional wrestlers) from southern Germany and Austria will meet in the ring.
