Aziz or The Wedding That Saved the West

Comédie-franchise inspired by Bertolt Brecht's A Respectable Wedding speaks about "the industry of fear that drives mad already frenzied pillars of the consumer society".

Aziz or The Wedding That Saved the West

“I brought Aziz among the heroes of Brecht's Respectable Wedding, a man about whom merry wedding guests know nothing except that, on the basis of his dark complexion and the inadequacy to the given situation, they conclude that he is some kind of the Moore, Arab or so, therefore a potential terrorist. Such a reaction was unfortunately expected, since the everyday propaganda of global fight against terrorism teaches them to think of "all of them" as suicide bombers. My text speaks about the industry of fear that drives mad already frenzied pillars of the consumer society even more. " - these are the words of the author, Predrag Lucić explaining what he meant by his "witty and wise tragicomedy", enabling us to distance ourselves even for a while, even only in the theatre, from racial prejudices and similar nonsense.
