Falk Richter

Monologue
German text
In a mixture of autobiography and fiction, Falk Richter delves into the trauma of his own divided and dysfunctional family, where communication breakdowns, emotional and psychological battles, suppressed pain, unresolved conflicts and the fear of confronting reality are fixed components. Through fragmented dialogue and inner monologues, Richter examines the impact of past events on current conditions and deals with, among other things, also topics such as patriarchy, masculinity, homophobia and parenthood.
