Ellen Babić - Academy Theater Vienna

The teacher Astrid and her former student Klara have been living together for many years. One evening, they receive a visit from Wolfram, Astrid's superior. He has invited himself to discuss a sensitive matter regarding the student Ellen Babić, who – if the allegations are true – would need to be prosecuted. This would also have legal consequences for Astrid. In no time, the living room of the two women turns into a #MeToo battleground over interpretation, power, and guilt or innocence. Three equally strong parties fight for their survival, with an uncertain outcome... Marius von Mayenburg has written a finely tuned crime play with ELLEN BABIĆ, which increasingly tilts into the threatening with each glass of wine. Who has done what? Who is lying and who is telling the truth? And is it possible to emerge victorious from this abyssal web of relationships? Directed by: Thomas Jonigk.
