Love / An argumentative exercise
Play by Sivan Ben Yishai
Sun, May 24 at 4 pm at the
Young Theater Leverkusen
Karlstraße 9a, Leverkusen
Do you know Popeye? Popeye, the sailor? He's a cartoon character invented 90 years ago. He loves spinach and has these impressively muscular arms.
And Olivia? Ever heard the name? Olivia Oil? If you don't remember, she's Popeye's girlfriend, that's right. "Skinny, irritable, self-conscious, idiotic" - that's how she's categorized on the internet by her own inventors. And her love life? "His dick was like a third member of the family, his dick was like her pet."
Sivan Ben Yishai turns the female supporting character Olivia into the analytical brain of the text. Through her perspective, we look at Popeye and the classic couple relationship.
The two borrowed comic characters become Everyman and Everywoman, a template for us to reflect on. It's funny, because it's true.
