Comedy "Maya's Counter"

A captivating play about courage, values, and humanity! Comedy by a.gon Munich. In a world where political divides are becoming sharper and humanistic values are under scrutiny, "Mayas Kontra" tells an inspiring and highly relevant story. The new play addresses central themes of our time and illuminates them from a refreshingly human perspective. The themes explored in "Mayas Kontra" have already found great success in the arthouse film "Contra" and the French film "Le brio." Both works captivated critics and audiences alike by portraying societal tensions and personal conflicts in a moving manner. "Mayas Kontra" offers a new, exciting perspective on the topic. At its center is Maya, a young Yazidi politician who fled to Germany with her father to escape war. Despite personal losses and daily challenges, Maya fights for a better future and against prejudices within her party. Her journey leads her to a rhetoric workshop, led by Christian Stahl, a populist politician with controversial views. What begins as an insurmountable divide evolves into an extraordinary exchange that changes both of them. The idea of bridging differences and promoting dialogue between various worldviews is by no means new. Works like Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's "Nathan the Wise" poignantly address how prejudices can be overcome through dialogue and understanding. These universal questions resonate into our present and find a powerful reinterpretation in "Mayas Kontra." The play explores, with depth and humor, the dialogue between seemingly irreconcilable worlds. The touching story of a young woman who does not give up despite adversity invites the audience to reflect on the power of humanity and the significance of empathy. The production offers a modern blend of social criticism, tension, and hope, appealing to audiences of all ages. Tickets available from September 1, 2025!
