by Hanoch Levin from the Hebrew by Matthias Naumann / Director: Sapir Heller
Dingens is offended. As a close friend of the family, no one has informed him of Fogra's impending marriage. Fogra's parents, Klamanope and Teigalech, resolutely reject Dingens' accusations and decide to finish him off. Dingens' grievance develops into an absurdly brutal power game in which everyone ends up fighting against everyone else, drawing their own self-esteem from the misery of others. In this grotesque, bitter comedy, Hanoch Levin, Israel's best-known and most controversial playwright, portrays a society in which the happiness of some can only be achieved at the expense of others. Accompanied by new compositions by well-known jazz musician Omer Klein, Israeli director Sapir Heller stages the German-language premiere as a bitingly amusing board game with crazy characters. Whoever loses ends up in the black hole.
