Jena.
The Theaterhaus Jena has used a choreographer’s dog poop attack on a critic as the starting point for a new piece. “The Dog Poop Attack” is a performance about darkness, beauty and forgiveness, based on a true story, the theater announced on Monday.
It’s about a play within a play: it discusses how a collective uses the aforementioned dog poop attack as the basis for a production. During rehearsals, however, the artists become afraid of getting themselves into trouble with the project and get into arguments with each other.
It is a piece developed by the ensemble together with Walter Bart, who also directs. He belongs to the Dutch collective Wunderbaum. The piece is a co-production with Wunderbaum. The premiere is scheduled for October 27th.
In February, the choreographer Marco Goecke smeared dog feces on a critic in the foyer of the Hanover Opera House. He had previously accused the journalist of always writing “bad, personal” reviews. The Hanover State Theater parted ways with him in the week after the attack. (dpa)
