he Lucerne Theatre will present three German language premieres on one evening. The contemporary pieces by young authors from the Balkans deal with social realities in varying ways: This is where the madness of the military siege and the post-war period encounters the reality of everyday life. Tragic ‹accidents› occur at three different locations. In societies without social cohesion, where everyone looks after themselves first, nobody feels responsible. Nevertheless, some people still go in search of the truth, confrontation and forgiveness.
