WELT/BÜHNE: VERGEWALTIGUNG EINER SCHAUSPIELERIN

In the organizer's words:

WORLD/STAGE - RAPE OF AN ACTRESS
by Carla Zúñiga Morales

Translated from the Spanish by Franziska Muche

We are probably in the middle of a lockdown because Berenice, a famous actress, is at home in her apartment preparing for a performance that is being streamed on the internet and is about to go on air. But Berenice doesn't want to go on air, she doesn't want to act at all, especially not something as banal as this play. Her colleague Estela tries everything she can to persuade her to perform. But what initially appears to be stage fright and diva airs and graces develops into an intimate debate about the role of women in the theater, sexual abuse and solidarity. In her short play, Carla Zúñiga-Morales, who will be a guest at the Residenztheater next season, sheds light on the abysses of the MeToo debate in a humorous and poetic way.
