More details
tender, adj. affectionate, tender, delicate [flesh], sensitive, sensitive to pain [sore], mimosa-like.
“You either win or you’re a loser,” says the father to his daughter. A young woman is trained by her father – her gymnastics coach, her soccer coach, her tennis coach. She learns which sports are good and which are bad. How to make her father proud instead of disappointing him. The daughter is there to be judged, to be shown up, to not be taken seriously, to do everything right. She just has to make the right effort to get recognition and love. And he only wants the best for her. She searches for her own words, tries to become a woman and pupates in a cocoon of language in order to empower herself. …
The young Austrian playwright Hannah K Bründl, who was awarded the Dramatiker:innenstipendium for her text, writes “tender”, a sporty, rhythmic theater poem about the violence to which female* bodies are exposed, and gives her protagonist not only a language, but also an entire choir.
Beatrice Benedek has already staged the Bürger:innenbühnen play “Die ganze Welt ist Bühne” and continues her work in Graz with this world premiere. Together with 3rd year drama students from Graz University of the Arts, she finds a performative approach to Bründl’s poetic text and questions the pressure to perform to which the young generation is exposed when entering professional life.
Created as part of the WIENER WORTSTAETTEN Drama Lab.
Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes, no break
