Czech Republic: Out of the System \u2013 <\/strong>Shadow Economy Workers<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom\u00e1\u0161 R\u00e1li\u0161: Sorex<\/em><\/strong>
Translated from the Czech by Maira Neubert <\/strong>(mentored by: Barbora Schnelle and Henning Bochert)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followed by a panel discussion with the playwright and translator
Dramaturgy, chaired and interpreted by: Barbora Schnelle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play is a poetic look at the precarious lives of people working in the what’s known as the “shadow economy” on the Czech-German border. Along with the human world, we are also immersed in the world of the shrews (Latin: “sorex”), whose only occupation is finding food. We learn only fragments about the lives of the roughly sketched human characters. Their desires and dreams are tied to media images that have nothing to do with their reality \u2013 which consists of the daily wait for the bus that takes them across the border to Germany to work, which is hard physical labour. Although foreigners themselves, they reproduce xenophobic images and use of racist stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dramaturgy: Matthias Naumann<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play centres around three doctors who must face the issue of triage during a disaster. For weeks, the region has been ravaged by severe fires, the medical system has reached its limits, and even this hospital, which the fires are approaching, no longer has enough ventilators. Faced with the impending emergency, the doctors must make quick decisions and find a way to do something. Skilfully and with great complexity, Maya Arad Yasur examines ethical and moral dilemmas, ageism and classism, gender issues, personal relationships, and the terrible responsibility of deciding which life is worth preserving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dramaturgy: Henning Bochert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tribunal<\/em> is a radical play by London-based playwright Dawn King that dramatically shows us what might happen to our societies and our world if none of the climate targets are met. The action takes place around the middle of the twenty-first century. Twelve teenagers and children are jurors in mass trials, in which climate “sinners” of their parents’ generation are supposed to be held accountable for their crimes against the planet. An unsettling portrayal of an authoritarian society where there is no longer much freedom for individuals. The second German-language production of the play will premiere the day before, on the 26.05., at the Theater Bielefeld<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free entrance, but please register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
