Marcus Braun

“Damaged ones with oozing skin infections or
ulcerating fistulas of small expansions
we are becoming history-less
the best batteries
for the last part of the way
the remaining eternity”

The second play of young novelist Marcus Braun is about three young people who grapple with their past and the generations before them, all the fathers and mothers breathing down their necks like a heavy burden. It’s a trial about debt and indebtedness and about how to find the precious moments here and now.

“FATHERS SONS GHOSTS is the punctuationless title written above a oratory by young playwright Marcus Braun about three young people “with their back defenceless towards the future”, metaphorically executing the past that made them ghosts who have to haunt the verbal garbage of the old generation."
