»DIE HOLLÄNDERINNEN« EIN ABEND MIT DOROTHEE ELMIGER

In the organizer's words:

A European theater group travels to the tropical jungle together with a renowned author. Ten years ago, two Dutch tourists disappeared there - the (real) case is to be re-enacted for a theater project. What then begins is a disturbing story of people and monsters, a "tropical passion" of fear and violence. Swiss author Dorothee Elmiger ("Einladung an die Waghalsigen", "Aus der Zuckerfabrik") boldly dismantles the Western idea of the "other" or "savage" and questions the narrative itself in the process. Her new novel (Hanser Berlin) is a dense, poetic text full of literary cross-references and at the same time a gripping story full of uncanny twists and turns.
