Theater and photography workshop
A Swedish suburb in the 1980s: So far, David has kept his Jewish identity a secret, but now everyone knows. Trying to impress left-wing activist Maja while also avoiding discrimination at school as well as increasingly violent threats from a group of neo-Nazis, Davids’s situation turns into more and more of a dilemma. A thought-provoking novel that balances satire with a serious examination of antisemitism and racism.
Content Note: This story addresses antisemitism, racism, homophobia, misogyny, body shaming, ableism, and a suicide attempt.
»Davids Dilemma« (David den mindre vises protokoll) was translated from Swedish into German by Susanne Dahmann.
What happens during the workshop?
Based on the experiences of the main character David, described from the first-person perspective, students outline possible alternative plot developments in the story using various representational means.
