HAU Berlin

Performance in a stage installation on questions of personal catastrophe, the allocation of blame and adult life models, featuring four actors and seven youths. Atom Egoyan’s film The Sweet Hereafter provides the point of departure for an open trial before an audience: of youths and adults, of actors and strategies of credibility.

To what extent have the great themes found in the over 1000-year-old Persian poetic opus Schahname retained their actuality up to today? Based upon mutual research missions undertaken by German actors and Iranian youths living in exile in Berlin today.
