A Youth Theatre Evening Between Island, Survival, and Community
With Screwed! the youth club ensemble invites you to a public dress rehearsal that is much more than a simple preview. Volker Zill's youth theatre piece takes nine teenagers to a deserted island after a plane crash and transforms the extreme situation into an intense stage experience about order, conflict, responsibility, and solidarity.
When the Crash Becomes a Model of Society
Hardly has the first shock coursed through the bodies of the characters, that a grueling struggle for structures begins on the island. The piece unfolds its dramaturgy from a survival mode: fishing, hunting, building, making fire, finding rules. The production thus opens a space where youth does not merely appear as an age group but as a laboratory for democracy, power, and belonging.
Especially appealing is the clear intensification of the conflicts. From the improvised togetherness, camps arise, from solidarity grows friction, from everyday life emerges a struggle for existence. This is precisely where the strength of this material lies: It combines physical presence, ensemble work, and psychological tension into a dense theatrical atmosphere.
Volker Zill's Piece Between Adventure and Abyss
The author Volker Zill draws on motifs from Lord of the Flies and translates them into a present that speaks directly to young people. The youth theatre piece is tailored for eight girls and one boy, lasts about 80 minutes according to the work specification, and is aimed particularly at young adults and school theatre groups from middle school onwards. The longing for home remains palpable, but the real drama arises from the question of whether community can endure under pressure.
The public dress rehearsal promises particular tension for this reason: Here, the directorial work appears unrefined, immediate, and alive. Such performances have their own charm because you perceive the characteristics of a rehearsal as part of the stage experience. You experience theater art at the moment of its creation.
JuZ-Poschinger Villa as a Suitable Venue
The Poschinger Villa in Landshut provides an ideal setting for this. The hall on the upper floor is known as a venue for concert and stage formats; according to Venue Specs, the capacity is approximately 115 standing persons. The space is compact enough to create closeness between play and audience, and large enough to sustain the tension of a youth ensemble. For the audience, an immediate theatrical atmosphere is created, where every gesture and every pause gains weight.
In addition, there is the special energy of a youth center: a place of encounter that focuses not on representation but on direct impact. This fits with a piece that tells of survival, improvisation, and group formation. Stage and content reflect each other in a convincing way.
What This Evening Promises
Screwed! combines adventure material with precise ensemble work, social tension, and youthful playing energy. Anyone eager for contemporary youth theatre, smart conflicts, and an evening full of dynamism will experience a public dress rehearsal here that piques curiosity even before the premiere. This performance is worth experiencing live because it pulls the audience into a state of exception while celebrating the power of theatre to create meaning from a crash landing.
