A production of the Osnabrück Theatre Germany
Performance in German with translation into Romanian and English.
Set & costumes: Gregor SturmDramaturgy: Anja SackarendtWith: Andrea Casabianchi, Thomas Kienast, Maria Goldmann, Oliver MeskendahlLaila wants a child: the boy who lives in the apartment above hers with his lethargic mother. She wants to take care of him, because his beauty reminds her of herself being a stranger and the far origins of her father: Arabia. George wants Laila: her beauty, her body – as long as it lasts. Then he pushes her away. Before his own wretchedness catches up with him, she needs to go, until they meet again. […] The unexpected return of Sahid, Laila's father and George's friend, makes the persons relate differently to one another and forces them to give up their desires or to follow them. In her poetic and bizarre play the young German-Iranian writer Azar Mortazavi makes the characters leave their dream worlds. Mortazavi's lonely people have become strangers to themselves and the world, they hope and search for beauty and a place where they belong and where they can live their lives.
"Director Annette Pullen focused this somehow different, because essentially optimistic story about migrants with scarce means on its main character. […] The impressive thing about this study of life is its laconic tone describing a otherwise depressing destiny without trying too hard to cause dismay. […] Thanks to the concise composition of pertinent observations everything is markedly concrete. The only fairytale element is the claim that disappointments don't break you, but make you grow. Apparently wishing helps, even if the wishes don't come true."
