Schwalbenkönig
Classroom production by Stefan Hornbach
From the young age of 13, Philip had just one goal: to get scouted for a football academy. His success story is one of pressure, because in the academy, it was all about football, training, discpline and self-optmisation.
Philip remembrs how he turned his back on Timothy to devote all his time to training sessions. And he remembers that they had a stronger bond that he had wanted to admit. It seems like Philip has a lot more to talk about than just football. He has to come to terms with something important – with what society demands from his manliness, his body, his achievements, and his sexuality. Especially on the field.
Stefan Hornbachs monologue soulfully describes how important it is to find out who we are, and to free ourselves from being pressured into conforming to societal norms.
Schwalbenkönig will be played in classrooms and local football clubs.
