Maria Farrar

Based on the poem by Bertolt Brecht Maria Farrar, this play combines the elements of dance–performing, poetic speech and music. In this poem Brecht tries to take us away from the primary and instinctive reaction to the issue of paedophilia. He suggests us to approach the mother–killer man, through sensitivity, understanding and humanity. Briefly mentions repeating:

But please do not show contempt, because every creature needs the compassion of us all.
