LIKE A DOG

In times of great uncertainty, we trust more than anyone else.
We are dissatisfied, but also well-behaved. No one is perfect, but we
are the good ones. Us and us against the rest of the world. Before we die for peace,
we die of gratitude.
LIKE A DOG is a play featuring fragments from Franz Kafka’s “The Trial”
about the ideology that legitimizes violence when it is exercised
by state institutions. Kafka’s novel constructs a perfectly functioning
apparatus of contradictions: What structural violence lies in the ideas
that run through family, homeland, school, police, and military service? To what extent
are we raised to believe that the current system is the
best possible one? “One need not believe everything to be true; one need only believe it to be necessary.”

JUSTICE should be the foundation of every system, every relationship;
anything else makes no sense, is inhumane, and destroys
the very basis of our existence. But what are we talking about when we talk about justice,
and who gets to speak? Is justice a visionary
utopia, an empty buzzword, or rather a matter of interpretation that can be exploited?
Based on these questions, the five graduates of the
directing program discuss what they believe should be told on this topic.
