Elfriede Jelinek

Ein Sportstück

Contemporary drama

 

Everything is in motion: Steps, bodies, and thoughts. Bodies are moving towards an ideal, incorporating ideals of beauty, values that have become consumption and vacillate between self-fash- ioning and self-exploitation.

All those bodies are in sweatpants and casual chic outfits; uni- formed bodies have hung their individuality on the hook of oblivion in the locker room. The individual human being blurs in the crowd, like a choir, speaking and acting about the past and present toward the future.
