Telefunken

By Stuart Orr

14 September 2005 – 25 September 2005 Tower Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere

Introducing a Nazi werewolf in search of his soul - with the aid of Hip Hop, TV and nine sticks of dynamite. Stuart Orr manifests the self "in extremis" in his cinematic, anti-fascist treatise on history, propaganda and the contemporary world. It's underdog vs. ubermensch in this ultimate battle for truth's salvation.

Walpurgisnacht, Witch's Sabbath, April 30th, 1945: Soviet tanks stalk through the ruins of Berlin. You are an escaped American POW seeking refuge. In the eye of this storm, Ralph Gerhardt Mann, a deserter from the ranks of the SS, is holed up in an abandoned movie theatre, waiting for an audience to tell the movie of his life.

Stuart Orr manifests the self in extremis in his cinematic, anti-fascist treatise on history, propaganda and the contemporary world.
