Das Herz eines Boxers

Lutz Hübner

Lutz Hübner's play, winner of the German Youth Theatre Prize, follows 16-year-old Jojo, who does community service in a nursing home and meets the former boxer Leo. Their encounter gradually builds mutual respect across generations. Christian Vilmar's Göttingen production (premiered 2023) is aimed at school classes and updated with contemporary language. The performances of the two actors are praised.
