IMDB 0 | Aug , 2013
A recording of a production by Divadlo Komedie. A shocking drama full of pain, whose heroine, an abused girl, seeks the only possible path to tragic liberation. The last play by Austrian playwright Werner Schwab is a shocking drama full of pain and abuse. The story of Antiklimax can be easily reconstructed. It can also be perceived as one of those occasional sad news stories: in a socially disadvantaged family, a daughter who had been abused by her father for years killed her parents and then herself. After such an event, people ponder for a while what life was like in such a family. Why did no one report the abuse? What was the mother doing? It is a topic on the fringes of our social consciousness, which we effectively suppress. And when we want to indulge in a little unease, we reach for the tabloids, which put it right before our eyes. Little Marjánka is threatened by electrical appliances, brass band music, and family upbringing. As if madness were the last of man's pleasures.Passion
