\u201cNever again is now” – A provocative satire based on Fassbinder’s masterpiece, which unabashedly addresses the acceptable forms of racism. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The phrase resonates deeply with anyone familiar with German history. However, the echoes of 1933 are becoming increasingly louder. In this biting satire, a mirror is held up to society, revealing current social trends. With sharp wit and ironic twists, the audience is challenged to reflect on their own prejudices and stereotypes.<\/p>\n

The staging is the theatre adaptation of Rainer Werner Fassbinder\u2019s film Fear Eats the Soul<\/em>. This German melodrama, set in Munich, revolves around a scandalous liaison from the 1970s that could very well occur even today, after 50 years. The characters are Emmi, a German widow over 60, and Ali, a Moroccan man 20 years her junior, with a limited command of German. Their relationship, even before marriage, is met with intense resentment from their children, colleagues, shopkeepers, and neighbours, manifesting as anger, hatred, and insults. The couple grapples with numerous challenges unfamiliar to Germans without a migration background.<\/p>\n

The director made the significant decision to cast actresses who are themselves migrant workers coming to Germany from various countries such as Chile, Spain, Morocco, the United States, Austria, etc. This choice allowed her to find a medium through which to talk about the theme of labour migration in the 1970s. In this way, current social issues are connected to historical experiences:<\/p>\n
