Synopsis: | Two men live in the same apartment block. One likes long walks, Greek myths and foreign languages. The other likes making lists, fixing bikes and blackmail. One day they bump into each other in a local. Only this is no coincidence; one of them has been planning this moment for a very, very, very long time. Nocturnal explores the complex nature of friendship, stripping away to reveal the layers of polite behaviour to reveal the power struggles beneath human relationships. | |||||

Synopsis: | When you're alone in a big city, how far would you go to make a new friend? Two neighbors. One works by night, the other by day. One enjoys literature, the other enjoys model trains and tinkering with broken objects. They seem to have little in common, until they run into each other in a local café. Only this is no coincidence: one of them has been planning this moment for a very, very, very long time. This encounter leads them into a game of power that changes their relationship forever. | |||||

Synopsis: | Way to Heaven (Himmelweg) is based on the notorious true story of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where the Nazis constructed a fake village to fool international inspectors and quell extermination rumors. Juan Mayorga's play begins years after the fact with an account by the Red Cross employee who was there, then leaps backward in time to show the creation and rehearsal of another very unusual play, one in which the Jewish prisoners are assigned roles (Mayor, Boy #1, etc.) and given lines to say to the inspectors. The façade, written by one of the most ironic figures ever to appear on a stagea witty, cultured, humanistic Nazi Commandantand the Jewish prisoner selected to play the Mayor, this 'play' will ultimately serve its purpose and the inspector will return with a positive review | |||||
