About love and hate

 

The play "Love and Hate: Let Us Not Forget Aylan Kurdi" is a thriller depicting the current migration crisis in Europe.

The clash of civilizations—the historic rivalry between extremists who use religious radicalism to spread hatred and intolerance, and fundamentalists seeking ideological hegemony—forms the backdrop against which the plot unfolds.

The Islamic State decides to carry out a terrorist act in Germany that would go down in human history as the largest and most terrifying ever perpetrated.

Contextualizing philosophy and geopolitics, history and social sciences, state policies, and strategic planning, the characters provoke and challenge the audience to deeply reflect on the core values of Western-Christian culture: democracy and freedom, justice, and individual rights.

Three homosexual women engage in tense, intense discussions within this traumatic universe where, despite political progress, anger, hatred, intolerance, sectarianism, extreme violence, and fanaticism still prevail.

Mullahs, imams, caliphs, and ayatollahs represent Islamic fundamentalism on one side; on the other are Western authoritarian experiences such as Nazism and Communism, the KGB and the Stasi, forming the backdrop that fuels the beast of violence, strengthens nationalism, closes borders, builds walls, and fosters contempt for the culture of "the other" and disregard for the suffering endured by refugees and marginalized people.

ISIS terrorists plan to detonate six nuclear bombs in Berlin, obliterating Germany and destroying all of Central Europe. Will they succeed in carrying out this horrific plan? Within this setting, debates about beauty and ugliness, hatred and love, authoritarianism and democracy, sexuality and individual freedoms, Islamic fundamentalism, and civil rights are weighed.

Kazal al-Atassi, a poet whose limbs were amputated and body disfigured in terrorist attacks in Syria, and her former partner, Manal al-Atassi, whose extraordinary beauty captivates and enchants, are suspected of being part of the Islamic State's terrorist brigade. Anna Decker, a military intelligence officer, is tasked with unraveling the sordid plot. Bismarck Adenauer, a former Stasi agent from East Germany, joins other characters from the shadows of the CIA, KGB, Mossad, and Russian and Chinese agencies.

Immerse yourself, dear reader, in this thriller, which, by exposing the most severe migration crisis since World War II, vividly and disturbingly blends reality with fiction.
