"Politicians move around in a monoplaça / go with Avant / trip over branches / pay when they shit / and howl if they are flattered! / Who cares! / Haven't you voted for them? / Who else? The scabs from the park?", writes the German playwright Wolfram Lotz (Hamburg, 1981) in one of his most radical and most performed plays in Europe, The Politicians (2019). Lotz, who has a repertoire of fewer than ten plays, is one of the fundamental Germanic voices in the contemporary scene; he has been translated into about fifteen languages and his shows have been seen in countries like Germany, France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. And, despite this strong international projection, the playwright has never been performed or published here. Until now. Aware of this deficiency, the Centre de les Arts Lliures of the Fundació Joan Brossa welcomed the project by director Leo V. Granados and translator Marc Villanueva Mir to bring Lotz's The Politicians" to the stage and to bookstores at the same time. The show has just premiered and can be seen until April 26, and the book has already been published by Arola Editors.
