Schutt von Dennis Kelly

Schutt by Dennis Kelly, German by Johannes Schrettle

The father has crucified himself and the mother dies more than once. A baby is found in the garbage and Uncle Harry kidnaps Michael and Michelle to sell them. Dennis Kelly lets the siblings look back on their childhoods - both good at wringing warmth and humor from a sick and frightening world. Reality blurs with the children's fantasies and a view of love, anger, longing and affection emerges, which helps them to face the aggressive death with a clenched fist of life.

With the play "Schutt", Dennis Kelly celebrated an impressively grotesque debut in 2003, which, far from being a social milieu study, takes us directly into the surrealities of ordinary madness - bitingly bizarre and full of abysmal humor.

Play: Thomas Brandt & Anna Striesow, Director: Christian Freund
