describes the merciless and senseless battle and the Russian captivity.
ago from the perspective of a farmer who took part in it. Lukas Schnurrer
describes the merciless and senseless battle and the Russian captivity.
Lukas is still erotically obsessed with the
Ukrainians and at the same time traumatised by the great slaughter. But the
current agricultural policy also brings the old farmer to the barricades.
SENSE, starring Hans Brenner as Lukas Schnurrer, received
the Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden. Werner Fritsch, who premiered SENSE himself at Schauspiel
Bonn, will read the monologue.
HYDRA KRIEG
The play revolves around Medea, Jason and the Argonauts'
journey as a raid that provokes an act of Islamist terror across the ages.
Jason leaves Medea and his two children and goes to war. The war changes Jason:
he becomes the mortal enemy of his country.
In the end, Jonas, who was once
called Jason, sits in the cockpit of an aeroplane he has hijacked in order to
steer it against a building. His children are among the passengers. Werner
Fritsch rewrites the Medea myth. At the same time, he attempts to use the text
to penetrate the centre of a terrorist attack. Hydra Krieg is a bold attempt to
combine archaism and topicality.
"Hydra Krieg" premiered in Linz with Käthe Reichel, Bertolt
Brecht's muse. Readings by Werner Fritsch, Chrsitoph Nußbaumeder, Andreas
Lechner and others.
Werner Fritsch, born in Waldsassen/Upper Palatinate in 1960,
has written a total of 44 theatre plays since the 1990s, as well as radio plays
and prose. Four of the eight parts of his 24-hour film "Faust
Sonnengesang" have been completed. This work and other plays mentioned in
the interview have been published as DVDs and books.
