The sporting world in Europe rests over the holidays, giving the stars of the scene time to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones. But is there pomp, machismo and lavish presents everywhere?
Circa10 stages the play "die zwei herren von real madrid" by Leo Meier. Soccer from a different angle: no machos, but polite moments between two sensitive footballers that will make you smile. It gets romantic!
Midfielder: would you like to come and visit us at christmas? my mother is a big fan of yours
Striker: how nice! of course, if it's no trouble, I'd love to come. I can also bring a little something to eat
Midfielder: how nice! but really only if it doesn't cause any inconvenience
Sürmer: oh my god! i bake banana bread. when my parents were still alive, they used to bake banana bread together
Written by Leo Meier, the play was published by Fischer Verlag and received the German Audiobook Award in 2022. With a lot of humor and sensitivity, the text deals with current topics: same-sex love between footballers, the tragic loss of parents and the fact that we will all die. Meier creates absurd moments in his text and turns prejudices into their opposite.
One wonders: what is more unusual here? Two footballers who fall in love with each other so lovingly and empathetically and publicly admit it? Or a footballer who flies through the air with a kite called Jackson?
