The Stone

A co-production of the Zagreb Youth Theatre and Belgrade Drama Theatre

The Stone is a story about several family generations joined by living in the same house but across different times. The residents change as do the regimes – from the National Socialist, when a Jewish family had to sell the house, to Germany’s split between East and West, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the era of late capitalism. The show opens a can of moral, ethical, and legal worms and probes into the intimate (in)capability to leave the past behind. Taking bold chronological leaps with ambivalent characters, it digs into past, yet still smouldering conflicts that shape our present.
Marius von Mayenburg is a major modern German playwright welcomed to the European, and, for the first time, Croatian stage.
