At midday
It is one of the most horrible experiences that you can imagine: to be witness to a killing spree. Still, that is John Smith, the anti-hero of Neil LaBute's "The Moon" is happening.
John Smith (Norman Hacker) is not a nice guy, no. His marriage to Ginger (Katrin Rover) went wrong, he has betrayed her, and treated poorly. With his daughter, he also sees itself not particularly. His life is a disaster, until the day on which Smith survives as the only one of his infamous killing spree Kollegens office. From this point on, everything will change for Smith.
The American film director and playwright Neil LaBute is concerned in his play "The Moon" with a highly controversial issue: a massacre and its aftermath. The play is essential questions of life: Why do we live? Why people are killed, others are spared why? Is it fate, there is God? For his hero John Smith, the existence of God is the answer to this question. He was saved because God has chosen him to spread his message.
Wilfried Minks' staging is discreet, cautious and conventional. On extravagances he dispensed with. He sits alone on the power of dialogue, because most of the events that helped to shape the staff of the play occurs before the play action. Through the presentation of the ensemble, led by Norman hackers as John Smith, the narrative is vivid and moving. One piece that particularly in view of the trial of Anders Breivik gives pause in Oslo.
