Roman Sikora is an explicitly political writer who analyses the power structures of a society dominated by market economics in his work in grotesque form. Translator Barbora Schnelle has been working with Roman Sikora for many years. This has now culminated in the publication of the anthology Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck mit Leviathan<\/em> (Berlin: Neofelis 2021).
The playwright Roman Sikora and his translator Barbora Schnelle will present the new book Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck mit Leviathan<\/em><\/strong> and discuss with publisher Matthias Naumann (who will chair the discussion) the path Sikora’s plays took onto German stages and the importance of translating and publishing contemporary international drama. Extracts from the plays Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck mit Leviathan<\/em>, Drei Tage oder Abstieg und Aufstieg des Herrn B.<\/em> and Auf dem Weg zum Sieg<\/em> from the book Roman Sikora: Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck mit Leviathan<\/em> will also be read in a staged reading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the play Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck mit Leviathan<\/em>, the guests invited to breakfast with the richest businessman in the world don’t have any scruples when it comes to getting richer themselves. The hero of his comedy Drei Tage oder Abstieg und Aufstieg des Herrn B.<\/em> makes a career as a cunning banker. After an accident, he ends up on the street and, when he is robbed of every last cent, experiences the dark side of capitalism. The play Auf dem Weg zum Sieg<\/em> leads us into the ranks of the k. u. k. army in the First World War and investigates the mentality of the war machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performed by Thea Rasche, Henning Bochert und Aleksandr Vajnstajn
