Walk About the Village

Peter Handke

Directed by Roberto Ciulli

Three siblings: Sophie, Gregor, and Hans. Gregor left the village of his childhood; as the eldest, he inherited his parents' house, where Hans now lives. He asks Gregor to leave it to his sister Sophie so that she can build a life for herself. At first, Gregor does not agree, until a character named Nova appears and points out to him that he should be  “unintentional,” soft and strong – "let yourself in and despise victory." Compared to their childhood, the village and the landscape have changed dramatically. Concrete is the new building material, huge halls stand in the plowed landscape, the former carpenters now work exclusively with large industrial machines, and the entrepreneurs have only one goal: money. But Nova points out to the siblings a different perspective, a behavior whose standards are established beyond their own interests, thus opening up the utopia of eternal peace.

 

The premiere party will take place on March 14 following the play.

On March 26, March 27, April 16, and April 17, we cordially invite you to a post-performance discussion after the show.
