2019-2020 National Theatre of Northern Greece
Here Sky - Aglaja Veteranyi
Opening: Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies – Foyer, 07/03/2020
The terrible question hidden in the title of Aglaja Veteranyi’s novel “Why the Child Is Cooking in the Polenta” (original title: “Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht”) reflects its fairy-tale structure, which exploits the mythic dimension to highlight the cruelty of life. Having left her homeland in search of a better life, travelling with the circus and looking for safety, tenderness and hope, the protagonist finds herself faced with the harsh realities of adult life. Seeing the world through her youthful, sensitive gaze, the viewer follows along her bumpy road as she recognizes and interprets the realities we all confront: indifference, prejudice, abuse, injustice, the difficulty of communicating, the deep-seated malaises of family and society. This dark allegorical tale for adults provides us with answers to the “whys” that torment us.
