Die Hundekot-Attacke

Theaterhaus Jena / Wunderbaum

A theatre collective is trying to create a show in the Thuringian provinces that will create the greatest possible nation-wide stir. After lengthy discussions, they decide to base their devised play on a true incident: In 2023, a choreographer smeared dog feces on a critic, a scene that was extensively discussed in the media for weeks. But the rehearsals turn out to be a real stress test for everyone involved. “Die Hundekot-Attacke” openly plays with the real and the fictitious. Developed collectively at Theaterhaus Jena, the depicted scenes could well have occurred in some form or other. Narrating in a pseudo-documentary form, the enthusiastic cast gives a highly entertaining, self-ironic and intelligent insight into the structures of the art and theatre scene.“Anyone who has even the slightest insight into rehearsal processes at the theatre will laugh themselves silly ... unfiltered, merciless, funny and clever,” wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung about the work, which was invited to the 61st Berlin Theatertreffen and the 41st Heidelberg Stückemarkt. In addition, the collective of authors of “Die Hundekot-Attacke” was awarded the 3sat Theatre Prize 2024 and Nikita Buldyrski the Alfred Kerr Actor Prize.
