The Wild Blood

      The play was created on the basis of La journée de la jupe film by Jean-Paul Lilienfeld (France).

   Regular school, maybe somewhere in Berlin (or in densely populated Rural land in Germany), one of the Eastern migrants’ and post-migrants neighbourhood. Regular group. Regular German Literature class about “Friedrich Schiller's Works”. The indiscriminate ignorance of the essence of the subject, familiar to everyone, is a sign of the time of any ordinary school in any country, against the background of the behavioural licentiousness of students bordering on obscenity.

    And suddenly, that school routine is interrupted by a surprising incident: a weapon falls out of a student’s bag. True one. Combat weapon. The teacher turns out to be quicker and gets the weapon which dramatically changes the events in the class. Now, the students have to learn about the humanistic principles of European mentality at gunpoint. When playing The Robbers by Schiller, the spoiled teenagers try on the characters of bad guys and heroes. They slowly understand that their world is limited, aggressive, and unfair. But at the end of the play, when the learning was forced by a gun, a bullied boy uses a weapon to make others love and respect him. So, the concept of the play is complete: to get your personal freedom you must be responsible before the majority but there’s always someone neglecting that principle.

     The path to the truth is always challenging and bitter.
