Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder

Anna Fierling travelled through a ravaged, traumatised and continually degenerating Europe during the Thirty-Years-War. In a time when ideologies served as cover for a complete dehumanisation, she went from one theatre of war to the other to peddle her wares. Her business sense is her drive, her business models are calamities and death. Fierling’s plan to lead her children through the devastation unscathed is doomed to fail spectacularly. Director Oliver Frljić’s »War Trilogy« was launched with Danton’s Death / Iphigenia.
