after the film "La Haine" by Mathieu Kassovitz

Rear seat of a Citroën. Forehead leaned against the cold side window, the gaze glances at the neon sign on the facade of a prefabricated building: "I see something you don't see."
La Haine (1995) by Mathieu Kassovitz is a film about stagnation and explosion at the same time: 24 hours in the life of three young men, trapped between banlieue, police violence, and the constant threat of social extinction. The film tells of friendship and anger, of powerlessness, hopelessness, and the question of how violence originates – and is passed on. The famous quote "so far, so good" still resonates today: as a mantra of repression in a society in free fall.
The international cooperation with the Greek theater company Spectrum Amke takes La Haine as a starting point to examine contemporary forms of life at the margin of society. Newly written texts from the Master's program "Professional Writing" at Friedrich Schiller University Jena transpose motifs, characters, and conflicts of the film into today's reality of the Jena periphery. Scenes of youths emerge, caught between origin and rootlessness, between prefabricated housing and global imagery streams, between societal dissatisfaction and the resurgence of authoritarian and fascist ways of thinking. The specially developed hip-hop soundtrack by the artist Sorbas connects to the musical DNA of "La Haine," where rap plays a central role as the voice of the street, as an expression of resistance and self-assertion.
The focus is not on retelling the film, but on its updating: What does hate mean today? Who is allowed to speak, who is heard, who disappears from the picture? How do violence, resistance, and solidarity change in an era of social media, intensified exclusion, and political radicalization?
