A revealing journey into the underbelly of the human soul.

The play “A Hetz or The Last Days of Humanity” left neither theater audiences and the media nor the people of Hausruck cold. Like all Theater Hausruck productions, “A Hetz” was extensively and professionally documented in 2009, both the preparatory work and the actual performance. Chris Müller and Helmut Geissler are now using this video material to produce a film that will celebrate its premiere in 2011.

Regional participation and detailed documentation

The foundation of Theater Hausruck has always been the cooperation of many people who are connected to the Hausruck in one way or another. The people of the region become part of the story as contemporary witnesses, are part of the large acting team of amateurs and theater professionals or support the theater productions with the numerous organizational tasks. The documentation of the projects also plays an important role. All productions and their preparatory work are extensively and professionally recorded in videos, images, sound and writing.

Media voices.

“In an oppressively staged journey through the Hausruck, the audience experiences a passionate protest against Austria’s asylum policy.”
Leo Matteo Bachinger, Die Presse, 31.07.2009

“…a revealing journey into the underbelly of the human soul.”
Peter Grubmüller, OÖN, 31.07.2009

Christian Pichler, Austria, 31.07.2009

“Real theater never just takes place at the premiere. An essential moment in the Hausruck project is that even during the staging work world views could clash: of locals and asylum seekers, residents and stage activists, committed and skeptics.”
Clemens Pangal, Salzburger Nachrichten, 31.07.2009

“Looking away and feeling nothing is impossible.” (fer)
