Theater
Duration: 1h 10 Min.
German

In May 2018, les dramaturx and many of their colleagues take part in a demonstration organized by Die Vielen. The occasion is a nationwide rally by the AfD and other far-right groups in Berlin. In the following months, les dramaturx try to understand how the global rise of right-wing forces has come about. During their research, they come across a magazine in which right-wing authors paint a realistic picture of a world in a climate crisis and at the same time show how they are profiting from it.

les dramaturx ask themselves whether there really is a connection between the rise of the political right and climate change, and come to the bitter realization that they themselves are much more involved than they would like. Bitter Fields is an activist research revue made up of ¾ white spots, ⅝ dramatic trains of thought and 100% flashes of realization.

The play addresses the climate crisis and right-wing ideologies
