The SCHACHNOVELLE, written in 1941 in Brazilian exile, is a painful reminder of the Austrian homeland that Zweig lost. Embedded in the history of the rise of the Nazis in Austria in the late 1930s, the novella deals with power, powerlessness, fame, isolation, fantasy, obsession, resistance, and the weaknesses and strengths of the human spirit. And of course about chess, which Zweig considered the royal discipline of all games.

Nils Strunk and Lukas Schrenk are now dedicating themselves to this extraordinary novella after their successful adaptation of the ZAUBERFLÖTE and bringing it to the stage as a musical play.
