About SENSE - The monologue SENSE depicts the war in Ukraine eighty years
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.
