Nikolaus Habjan, text, puppet making and puppeteer
Simon Meusburger, staging
Habjan's solo performance of the life story of Friedrich Zawrel, tortured in Nazi Austria by the "expert" prison doctor who officially met him again in the later Republic and locked him away once more, is ingenious puppetry for a story that no other genre could have handled so coherently. With sparingly dosed film inserts and linguistically and playfully sovereign handling of the angular loudmouth characters, it became grandiose documentary and emotional theatre in mutual embrace, which was awarded the Nestroy Prize.
