Der Riss (The Crack)

Autorenschaft
Beschreibung

Based on my own experience of war, the work deals with the absurd reality of everyday in a bunker. It shows how in the necessity of everyday occurrences and their discrepancy to the brutal everyday life outside the protective walls, a strange parallelism of different realities arises.
 People live together in a bunker while the war rages outside. The protagonists are a woman, her son, her father, the neighbor, a smuggler and a journalist. The first act depicts their life in the bunker and the interpersonal dramas due to the extreme narrowness of living together. Feast.
 Impression of normalcy, still there is an eccentricity in the air. It is spoken very loud, jokes are torn, eating, drinking, laughing and singing in various languages. If there were not the appearance of hysteria and some stereotypes and rituals that were repeated and make it startle, one would think there is a family party.
 Meanwhile the sirens howl, the bombs fall and people die on the street. This absurdity is the core of this music theater. The second part is an abstract illustration of escape, a journey into alleged security, and the arrival in nowhere.
 The end remains unexplained open. Have our characters landed in a "promised land" or are they already dead? The plot is not limited in time or place. It could happen anywhere, in any country, yesterday, today or tomorrow. But the question of the future and the more than living threat of war are in the foreground.
