Dir(s): Thomas Lauterbach
Program: International Spectrum
Run Time: 79 | Germany | Language: (Subtitled in English) German
When a Stuttgart theatre director assembles an amateur and all-Turkish cast of women in his modern production of Medea, more drama explodes off stage than on. Designed to examine Eastern and Western images of women, the production asks each cast member to contribute her own personal story to the play's experimental script. Headstrong housewife Aysel is the only headscarf-wearing Turk in the bunch and soon takes it upon her sassy self to defend her traditional views against the more modern ideas of the others. Cameras capture exceedingly intelligent discussions about religion, "oppression," and sex in this politically and religiously diverse group. But as the exchanges become increasingly personal, Aysel soon finds her commitment to the play and her newly found friendships put to the test. Winner of a Golden Dove at DOK Leipzig, Bastion of Sin presents one of the year's most thoughtful and entertaining discussions of identity and tolerance. Myrocia Watamaniuk.
