Abstract

Dea Loher (1964-), a contemporary German playwright, proposes to her reader/spectator stories that depict the society, leading the public to a reflection about themes that are intrinsic to the reality they are part of. Through a very unique and peculiar style, also through an aesthetic that combines different elements, Loher rethinks political theater emphasizing the disadvantaged, aiming to create spaces so that her interlocutor finds possibilities of transformation. The writer creates characters that, free from a sort of saving utopia, have the option of rebelling or resigning until total disintegration, which guarantees a tragic tendency to the text. Dea Loher compiles a different range of stories that presents sad and mischaracterized figures, without having them play the role of victims, but emphasizing multiple perspectives that lead them to action or to ostracism. An approach that prioritizes the micronarratives and its surrounding relations of power, including questioning the thin line between reality and fiction
