Versus
by Clemens Bechtel, from an idea by Maia Morgenstern
VERSUS is a production about two lives that appear to be opposites. It looks at what a political career meant for two Jewish women in the middle of the twentieth century - Ana Pauker and Golda Meir: what these two women paid for their careers, and where they succeeded and where they failed, in politics and in family life alike. The text starts from the idea of a reckoning with one's own past and with what the two political figures became. The meetings of the two protagonists with doctors, nurses and visitors, and with imaginary figures in their real present, alternate with imagined moments from the past, all of them under the sign of a constant returning and reckoning.
