Sam Max’s theatre play focuses on how we treat the bodies and traumas of gay men and explores the links between power, inheritance, masculinity and violence.

The play’s world premiere, directed by Ersan Mondtag at Staatstheater Wiesbaden, was invited to the prestigious Berlin Theatertreffen festival in May, and in June we now get to celebrate the book launch of its German translation at Roter Salon!
