Love? War! - Two one-act plays by Anton Tschechow (The Bear & The Marriage Proposal) *Premiere*

Description

Two one-acts. Three people. A fight for love: "Love? War" is the new play by the German-Iranian director Raman Allipur. A comedy full of quarrels, desires, pace, and surprising twists. What happens when a visit turns into a duel – and an argument suddenly becomes desire? A man comes to demand money. A woman refuses to receive him. A marriage proposal begins – and almost ends in war. In "Love? War!" two one-acts by Anton Tschechow meet: "The Bear" and "The Marriage Proposal." Three people meet – and in a very short time, everything is thrown out of balance. What begins politely turns into a quarrel. The quarrel becomes a duel. The duel turns into an approach. And from the approach, the next conflict immediately arises. Tschechow's characters are not just funny – they are completely serious. The comedy arises precisely from this: from precise timing, physical acting, absurd situations, and the desperate attempt of three people to maintain control. A minimal stage becomes a playing field for power, desire, and human vulnerability. Music, rhythm, silence, and light become independent dramaturgical elements. "Love? War!" combines Tschechow's sharp humor with a physically dynamic and precisely directed theatrical evening, where comedy and tension meet directly. Here, laughter is allowed. Here, arguing is allowed. And sometimes, it suddenly becomes very quiet. Because behind all vanity, conflicts, and absurd situations, there is a very human question: How does one get closer to a person without fighting against him? Three people. Two one-acts. Plenty of quarrels. And maybe, in the end, love.
