Hate and hate speech are the sword of Damocles of our time. They manifest themselves as slogans in comment columns, as a flood of fake news in messenger groups, but also increasingly in private, as endless monologues at the dinner table and at family celebrations.
How can we counter the creeping radicalization of our nearest and dearest? How do you bridge the gap? How do you speak when you can't seem to be heard?
In I, AKIRA, a dog investigates these questions - but not just any dog!
The Siberian husky Akira is the best friend and loyal companion of Attila Hildmann, known as the author of vegan cookbooks and also as an anti-Semitic, conspiracy ideologist and far-right activist.
In the field of tension between submissive canine affection and a moral sense of duty, Akira balances out his range of action together with the audience.
An evening at the theater like a bowl full of wet food: it's fun, but some bits are not easy to swallow.
