THOC New Stage: “Nachtland” by Marius von Mayenburg, directed by Athina Xenidou
From November 1st, 2024
Rehearsals for the premiere of “Nachtland”, a play by Marius von Mayenburg, are in full swing. The production will be presented at the New Stage of THOC starting from November 1st, 2024.
Written in 2022, Nachtland is a witty and provocative comedy. It offers a daring commentary on the gray areas of the past, our roots and legacies, the manipulation of history, and the intersection of art and money. How do we manage the past? Can a work of art be separated from the life of its creator?
The story follows two siblings who, after the recent death of their father, reunite in their family home to resolve various matters. While sorting through their inheritance, they discover a watercolor painting in the attic. This unexpected discovery raises moral dilemmas and leads to precarious conclusions and ambiguous decisions. The narrative unfolds around this painting and its possible creator. Is the signature A. Hiller or A. Hitler? The painting opens up conflicts, forcing the family to confront both their own dark sides and the shadow cast by Nazism and the Holocaust on recent German history.
