Guest performance new theater Cologne

by Janne Teller
Translated from Danish by Sigrid C. Engeler
Performance rights at Rowohlt Theater Verlag, Hamburg

Imagine there is a war – not somewhere far away, but here in Europe.
Democratic politics have failed and fascist dictatorships have taken over. Those who can, flee to the Middle East, like the 14-year-old protagonist from Germany. In an Egyptian refugee camp, he tries to start a new life with his family. Because he does not have a residence permit, he cannot go to school, learn Arabic, or find work. He feels like an outsider and longs for home. But where is that?

The author's intention in the play is to evoke empathy for war refugees and to highlight the situations migrants are exposed to. In her alarming vision, she addresses highly relevant topics such as escape, migration, and xenophobia. The play offers a powerful exploration of existential questions and ethical dilemmas.
Through staging this work on stage, we aim to reach a wide audience and encourage reflection on democratic values, individual freedoms, and the importance of commitment to a just society.
The theater project offers a unique opportunity to strengthen democratic culture and the liberal democratic order, while also combatting group-based misanthropy.
