Riistapolku
The end of childhood and innocenceNote: No longer in repertoire!
The last performance of the game trail on Saturday 28.12.!
The Game Trail is a family tragedy set in an industrial city in the 70s, which touches with its powerful themes.
Erwin and Hilda’s only child, 13-year-old Hanni, is in love. Her boyfriend is 19-year-old Franz. Erwin and Hilda oppose and feel ashamed of the relationship, and don’t know what to do when Hanni refuses to give up her first love. Franz is sentenced to prison for the affair, but after serving the sentence, the relationship continues, and the events accelerate towards tragic conclusions.
What is true love and who has the right to love? The Game Trail is a cruel and everyday story about the end of childhood. It is as much about the parents’ powerlessness with their child who has grown up as strangers as it is about the young people’s compelling desire to take life into their own hands.
