Faith and homeland: insights into the scenic reading about flight and displacement

A scenic reading that appeals to profound topics

Insight into displaced history

On September 8, Steve Karier and Judith Rosmair present the scenic reading of the play “Faith und Homeland”, which deals with the tragic topic of the expulsion of Protestants in Tyrol and Salzburg. This reading, which is inspired by the church newspaper, not only treats the historical reality of these events, but also reflects universal experiences of flight and loss.

The power of words and their meaning

Steve Karier emphasizes the immense suggestive power, which is hidden in the simple form of the reading. "However, one should not underestimate the effect of this apparently flat or modest form," he says. Often what is spoken by two voices can create a stronger emotional response than a fully staged stage performance. The absence of complex backdrops and the reduction to the essentials help to ensure that the messages remain clear and understandable.

Double challenge in the presentation

A special challenge for career is to limit the different voices and characters of the piece to just two actors. This innovative approach enables a deeper insight into the fundamental topics of the play. By transparent and understandable dialogues, the audience enables the motives of the characters and the fable of the piece to be recognized more clearly.

meaning for the community

The reading not only addresses individual experiences, but also takes a look at the social effects of the intelligence mentioned. KARIER points out that the receiving communities often benefited economically from the influx of the displaced persons. This leads to an important discussion about recognition and integration in today's companies.

an offer for reflection

The scenic reading invites the audience to reflect on the fate of people who were excluded from their communities because of trivial conflicts. This exciting staging offers both historical and current perspectives and promotes understanding of flight and displacement topics. Therefore, it is an opportunity for the audience to deal with the tragic aspects of life and to develop a feeling for empathy.
