Florian Felix Weyh

“‘I want to sleep with my daughter’ – this is the opening sentence of a play about love, betrayal and moral vacuity. Ludwig is the name of this scoundrel, a father racked with incestuous desire. In 1968, Ludwig was freed of sin, and since then he has lived in a permanent sexual revolution. At least in his head. Magda, the mother, has not been there for a long time. She keeps father and daughter at arm’s length with her own apartment and has accumulated rolls of fat through emotional eating. The pretty young daughter has just turned 20. But she still sees her father as friend and hero. Patrizia shoves her squeeze Robert into this sticky situation, too. He’s a smooth, wannabe yuppie. Deutsche Bank excites him like nothing else. The only ones missing are Magda and Ludwig’s friend Hermann, who was once an urban guerrilla and shot two policemen. After many years in jail, Hermann has transformed into a social worker, and he’s a real softie. His specialty: family welfare.
Five people, two generations. Florian Felix Weyh doesn’t take sides. He lets the parents and children rip into each other. Fatherhood, motherhood, friendship – this is Weyh’s thematic rule of three. And it’s a winner, because Weyh provides exciting drama, dynamic dialogues, surprising twists and subtle humour. Ludwigslust is a microcosm of reality, stripped of all ornament.” (Der Tagesspiegel)
