A behind-the-scenes satire about the film adaptation of a global bestseller
By Nora Abdel-Maksoud
A steep ride on the backlash wave
Culture wars are box-office hits – and not just ideologically. So it’s only fitting that film director Gordon would turn her attention to the supposed moral terror of woke minorities. With an ever so slightly highly strung team, she is daring to tackle a remake of George Orwell’s classic “1984”: a dystopian international bestseller about a totalitarian society and an insecure hero who fights against bans on thought and speech, against surveillance, newspeak and the thought police.
In “The Sequel” in 2018, playwright and director Nora Abdel-Maksoud created a sharp analysis of the discourse surrounding political correctness and identity politics. But that was long before the gender ban in Bavaria and the anti-diversity policy in the USA – so it’s high time for a revival!
Following her multiple-award-winning plays “Jeeps” and “Doping”, both commissioned by the Münchner Kammerspiele, in “Wokey Wokey” Nora Abdel-Maksoud examines right-wing discourse strategies for their comedic potential and catapults an overwhelmed film crew right into the debates of our time.
‘I am in favour of human rights in parts. I just think that maximum demands don’t get anyone anywhere.’
(Birgit, actress, 1984)
