Liebe/ Eine argumentative Übung

In the organizer's words:

NOMINATED FOR THE COLOGNE THEATRE PRIZE 2022 AUTHOR SIVAN BEN YISHAI AWARDED THE MÜLHEIMER DRAMATIKPREIS 2024 Comic hero Popeye, the muscle-bound sailor, has to constantly fight all kinds of adversaries. Mostly to rescue his long-term girlfriend Olive Oyl from dire straits. In "Love", everything is different: author Sivan Ben Yishai makes sidekick Olive the main character, and the two comic figures become prototypes for heterosexual relationships today. Intimate matters are made public because social power relations are inscribed in the stories of the body. As a sharp-eyed observer of her own love life, Olive dissects the ambivalence between female self-determination and losing herself in old relationship patterns - only to reinvent herself in the end.
