After five weeks of sold out performances in Nicosia, the New Stage THOK Nachtland production by Marius von Magenburg continues its journey with destination Larnaca (4/12), Sotira (7/12), Limassol (12/12) and Paphos (14/12).

[…] The work of Marius von Magenburg is a challenge that I embrace with love and an unlimited sense of responsibility, as his writing is contemporary, challenging and full of depth, always pushing the boundaries of theatrical expression. His minimalist approach allows us to experiment with the scenery and audio-visual media and create an experience that enhances the dramatic intensity of the play.[…]

Athena Xenidou

(excerpt from her director's note in the production poster)

Nachtland, written in 2022 by the internationally acclaimed German author Marius von Magenburg, is a witty comedy, provocative and ironic; a bold commentary on the gray areas of the past, our origins and legacies, on the falsification of History, the world of art and money. How do we manage the past? Can a work of art be separated from the life of its creator?

Two brothers, on the occasion of the recent death of their father, meet at their father's house to close various outstanding issues. While tidying the house and sifting through the heirlooms, they discover a watercolor in the attic. A dramatic juncture triggers a series of moral questions and dilemmas, which in turn lead to precarious conclusions and ambiguous decisions. The story unfolds around this painting and its possible creator. Whose signature is it on? By A. Hiller or perhaps A. Hitler? This particular painting opens up fronts and creates rifts within the family itself, which is confronted both with its own dark side and with the darkness that Nazism and the Holocaust have spread in recent German history.

The director Athina Xenidou returns to the Nea Skeni THOK with another work by the author, after Petra in 2013, to make us complicit in a bold discussion about ethics, political correctness and collective guilt. By her side she has a strong group of important artists.
