Two pubescent siblings, Kurt and Olga, navigate the inherent violence and unintentional betrayal of growing up - in all its cruelty, humiliation, and exhilaration within a claustrophobic home. Incest and arson binds Kurt and Olga and destruction results. Their withdrawn parents recognize the damage too late which leads to the ultimate and irreparable climax.
FIREFACE is a frenetic portrayal of the most tempestuous time of a child’s development realized through 100 cinematic scenes. Having been translated into 19 languages with productions all over the world, this marks the New York premiere of the award-winning German play
