Details

Two illegal dock workers witness a woman drowning. Afraid of involving the police, they do not save her. Guilty or innocent? A nocturnal city teams with social rejects, lost and disaffected human beings: an undertaker; a blind pole dancer; an embittered philosopher; the mother of a serial killer. Loosely connected stories from the edge of society mysteriously interweave to create a lyrical and darkly comic passion play for our times. Disturbing, poignant but ultimately hopeful, Innocence asks unanswerable questions about conscience and compassion in a disfigured world. Dea Loher is Germany's leading and most provocative playwright, noted for her original style and uncompromising picture of contemporary life.
