THE BOY WILL BE CIRCUMCISED
Volkstheater VIENNA, 2016
"Well, you aren't supposed to throw the foreskin in the trash, you return it to the earth. And since I don't have a garden, I buried the foreskin in a large flower pot inside my kitchen."
"Why is that so important to you?" For The boy will be circumcised, Anja Salomonowitz conducted numerous interviews on the topic of ritual circumcision of young boys. In The boy will be circumcised, the memories and opinions of mothers, fathers, doctors and philosophers are weaved together into a theatre play with music. The men also get a chance to speak - those who were circumcised when they were children or those who let themselves be circumcised voluntarily at a later point in life - be it in a Jewish, Islamic or Christian environment.
