Theater DU presents: HOCHWASSER III – A play by Günter Grass, adapted by Erol Boran. March 23/24/25, 7 p.m.

Performances on March 23/24/25, 7pm, at George Ignatieff Theatre (15 Devonshire Place, Toronto)

After F. Dürrenmatt’s Physicists (2010) and E. Boran’s Drakul(j)a (2013), GER 340 stages an adaptation of G. Grass’ Hochwasser, an absurd play about humans and beasts stranded in a house together. Outside, the waters are rising, and soon the protagonists are faced with a flood of biblical proportions. While strange visitors invade the house, wet rats are trapped on the roof and reflect on God and the world. “Rats are humans too,” one character claims – and, sure enough, when the humans are forced to head to the roof, they gradually turn into rats themselves…
