, Rudi (Billy Fenderson) writhes in guilt as the son of an ex-Nazi who falls in love with Sarah (Melanie Keller), the daughter of an Auschwitz survivor, on a mostly empty black stage. Marra chooses his props carefully - a cigarette that hardly leaves Fenderson’s hands, a suitcase positioned at the back of the stage, and a door to Rudi’s father’s study left slightly ajar with a thin line of yellow light pouring through from the room within. All are subtle yet powerfully imposing reminders of the repercussions of a father’s past that constantly weigh on his son’s present and future.
Not only symbolic, these objects create several arresting pictures. In an intimate moment between Rudi and his school friend Hermann (Tom McGrath), the two are bathed in a white spotlight in quite a compromising position: Fenderson’s back to the audience and McGrath on his knees, a puff of smoke curling and glowing in the light. “Nice image, isn’t it?” he asks the audience. It needs no answer.
