Chanukah II

The Ruins of a Celebration

(under construction)

If something seems right to you,

but your mind’s diseased, don’t think that’s wisdom.

–Euripides, The Bacchae, 310-

It’s no time for theater. And yet… Two people, misfits in an unfit world, old friends, would-be neighbors, the other and the other other, meet between the ruins of a celebration and a construction site. At the center, a table, enduring symbol of civilization, still stands. But for how long? Time suspended, they make toasts, recite lamentations, add personal footnotes. They negotiate. Somewhere between hope and decay emerges the promise of an Act.

Enter: Oranges.

The premiere took place on December 15, 2025

at Kosmos / Rechenzentrum Potsdam.
