Two solo performances, two young artists’ perspectives, two explorations of East Germany and Eastern Europe in the 1990s.
Karol Filo looks back at the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the 1990s. The brutality of far-right skinheads is met with waves of anti-fascist counter-violence. The theatre and video artist, born in Slovakia, examines this period and sets it in relation to the ideal of non-violence.
Mike Dele Dittrich Frydetzki becomes Maik: the village lad, the little coward, the weakling. In a semi-fictional encounter with his own past, Mike asks what it might have meant to grow up as a white boy in East Germany in the 1990s. In a queer self-portrayal oscillating between a sense of powerlessness and threatening gestures, Mike asserts a different perspective. (Source: FFT)
