I fully understand the restless curiosity of
Yvette Feuer, Roland Rába, Eszter Gyulay and
Márk Tárnoki - which shines through their
performance - because this horrible true story
is really telling a lot, but at the same time I
was not sure if it could work as a piece of
theatre…I don't know in what order or how the
co-creators joined Yvette Feuer, I just know
that she could not relax and be satisfied until
she made it into theatre. Eszter Gyulay and Márk
Tárnoki worked with the actors in such a way
that the performance made it possible for the
audience to feel and experience the relevant
part of the family history and that of the given
period as well. We get a glimpse of the
Holocaust syndrome and how Alice Miller, unlike
millions of others, managed to survive the
Holocaust: she perfectly split off her
experience as a victim and identified with the
perpetrator - Alice Miller was rescued by a
Polish Gestapo officer, whom she married, had
children with and lived with until the
children’s adulthood. The father systematically
and continually tortured the children/Martin
while the mother, Alice Miller, acted as an
overseer, according to her son. This is
difficult to understand in general and in
particular, but it does a lot for the
inclusiveness of the chilling theatre that we
are now watching in amazement. |
