George Orwell wrote in 1944: "What is truly frightening about totalitarianism is not that it commits atrocities, but that it attacks the very concept of objective truth: it claims the right to determine both the past and the future." His dystopian novel 1984 describes a world where the urge for total power by a few has become entrenched and institutionalised. Director Luk Perceval, who previously staged Mozart's Entführung aus dem Serail in Luxembourg, adapts this classic for the Berliner Ensemble, searching for glimmers of hope in Orwell’s dark narrative. The play follows the resistant force of a loving couple in a universe of omnipresent distrust, propaganda, and physical pain.
