Elizaveta Bam

In the organizer's words:

Young Elizaveta Bam has locked herself in her room because she is to be arrested for a "heinous crime". Her two pursuers want to hand her over to the law without being able to give her a reason.The vague assumption that a realistic crime tragedy could now unfold here quickly dissolves into thin air. The situation gets completely out of joint and the existential danger at the beginning turns into a clownish game.With the Exil Ensemble, Christian Weise questions one of the most important texts of absurdist theater for its ambiguity: if the ruling ideology demands absolute uniformity, how can superficial chatter become an instrument of criticism?
