Sivan Ben Yishai's piece is a radical, harsh, and at the same time humorous self-experiment about love. About how every woman (and man) changes within it. Nominated for the Mülheim Theater Prize 2020.
Comic hero Popeye, the muscle-bound sailor, must constantly fight against all sorts of adversaries. Mostly to rescue his long-time friend Olive Oyl from the highest danger. In "Love," everything is different: author Sivan Ben Yishai turns sidekick Olive into the protagonist, and the two comic characters become prototypes for heterosexual couple relationships today. Intimate matters are publicly addressed because social power relations are inscribed in the stories of the body. As a keen observer of her own love life, Olive dissects the ambivalence between female self-determination and losing oneself in old relationship patterns - only to reinvent herself in the end with archaic fury.

Nominated for the Cologne Theater Prize 2022
