The celebrated New York experimental theater troupe the Wooster Group is returning to Vienna to premiere its production of Bertolt Brecht's
The Mother, which will play the prestigious international festival Wiener Festwochen June 8-17. The Group will perform for limited-capacity audiences in accordance with Austrian health mandates, with all company members observing quarantine prior to opening. The Wooster Group is the only American theater company appearing in this year's festival.
Conceived as one of Brecht's
lehrstücke ("learning plays"),
The Mother is about a poor, uneducated Russian mother who becomes a revolutionary. The original play (with music by Hanns Eisler) premiered in Berlin in 1932 and was the last of Brecht's plays to open before the rise of the Nazis, who obviously did not appreciate the work's overtly communist themes.

The members of the 46-year-old Wooster Group are the monks of New York theater. They’re our holy fools, who — even when no one is watching — keep the art’s sacred fires burning. Rehearsal isn’t so much a preparation-to-show as it is a kind of religious practice — as endless, deliberative, and open to inspiration as a Shaker meeting.
