June, 2017. Performance freely adapted from ‘Der Jasager, Der Neinsager’ by Bertolt Brecht.
It is the story of a child leaving for a dangerous expedition. It is the story of his mother, who, all her life, undergoes the law of men. It is the story of men and women who would like to get along and agree with each other to finally live together. It is the story of tensions between traditions, modernity and globalization. How can we agree within a group while being in agreement with ourselves? Should we always obey the laws and customs of a society? Or do we have to constantly question them? Based on Brecht’s two short texts, the author takes her actors and characters created by the German playwright on a journey, not without humor and with a certain sense of absurdity, in which youth will have a say, (or not).
