Program<\/strong>me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nat\u00e1lie Bo<\/strong>\u010dkov\u00e1: Am Wannenrand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

translated from Czech by Maira Neubert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play is a sarcastic study of the failed relationship between Sofie (22) and Thomas (23). It recounts the story of an emerging director and a food deliverer, dramatically constructed as the clash of two life plans unveiling the social rift, classism, and the artist’s mannerism. In laconic dialogues with subtle undertones, the playwright builds a complex model of a toxic relationship on the most limited space. When she is finally accepted for the training programme as stage director, Thomas suddenly does not fit in with Sofie’s world anymore. In 2022, the play received the Evald Schorm Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
