When a Cultured Conversation Goes Completely Awry

THE GOD OF CARNAGE brings Yasmina Reza's sharp comedy to the stage of the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam. At the center are two pairs of parents who meet for a seemingly civilized conversation after a dispute between their children. What initially appears to be a factual exchange gradually develops into a ruthless and escalating confrontation.

When Politeness Begins to Crack

Yasmina Reza's play keenly observes how quickly social norms can falter. The four adults attempt to discuss their children's conflict rationally and civilly. However, beneath polite formulations, personal assessments, and apparent objectivity, tensions gradually emerge. The conversation becomes a battleground for differing attitudes, expectations, and reactions.

The comedy combines humorous situations with a sharp examination of human behavior. The audience witnesses how the initial facade of a cultured meeting breaks down and the discussion increasingly spirals out of control. It is precisely this blend of everyday relevance, pointed dialogue, and growing escalation that makes the play particularly appealing.
