Die Schmutzigen Hände (Dirty Hands)
Jean-Paul Sartre’s political drama highlights the conflict between idealism and realpolitik. It is set in the fictional country of Illyria during WW2, the story is about the assassination of a leading politician. Hugo a bourgeois intellectual is describing how he carried out his mission. The killer's identity is established from the beginning, but the question is whether his motivations were political or personal. Thus, the play's main theme is not on who did it but on why it was done.

In Jean-Paul Sartres Klassiker clashen die politischen Systeme und individuellen Überzeugungen. Und selbst ein kleines Eifersuchtsdrama ist noch mit im Spiel. Krzysztof Minkowski hat das Stück in Rostock als strenges Theater der verbalen Verhandlung ernst genommen. Ein glückliches Wagnis.
