A PUNCH IN THE FACE from Sunday 5 November at Lazaristes Monastery – Sokratis Karantinos Stage (02/11/2017)
YOUTH STAGE
A PUNCH IN THE FACE (EINS AUF DIE FRESSE)
by Rainer Hachfeld
Lazaristes Monastery – Sokratis Karantinos Stage
Opening: Sunday 5 November
NTNG Youth Stage presents
“A Punch in the Face” (original title: Eins auf die Fresse”)
by Rainer Hachfeld, translated by
Gianna Tsokou
and directed by
Stella Mihailidou
at
Lazaristes Monastery – Sokratis Karantinos Stage
from
5 November 2017
.
In this bold play written in 1996, Rainer Hachfeld observes a group of fifteen-year old teenagers after one of their classmates commits suicide. How much does the loss of lonely Matze affect them?
In short scenes full of action, Hachfeld deals, in a contemporary way, with the issues of bullying, violence, friendship, responsibility, fear, loneliness, sexuality, family and school relationships.
The play, which remains for over two decades in the repertory of the legendary Grips Theater, one of the most important European theatres for young audiences, is staged in Greece for the first time by the NTNG.
Director’s Note
A high school student commits suicide.
Why? What happened?
Who are to blame?
Every time we read and re-read the play with the troupe, we become more aware of the complex landscape of violence, bullying and interdependence.
No one is innocent. But we are rarely aware of our responsibility.
Blinded by our own problems, we do not see, we do not realize the impact of our indifference and silence. We get rid of our guilt by transferring our responsibility to someone else. We do not live consciously and through our ignorance we become part of the chain of violence and strengthen it.
It seems that behind both the perpetrators and the victims hides a desperate need for love, recognition, respect, relationship.
We all ask for love. But we do it in the wrong way.
