The writer and director Young Jean Lee not only deals with a wide range of sociopolitical issues, but also casts them in very different theatrical forms. While her “Untitled Feminist Show”, presented 2013 with great success at HAU, was set in the realm between queerness and neo-burlesque, in “STRAIGHT WHITE MEN” she now embarks on the opposite road with a linear narrative structure, a realistic stage set, and a traditional performance scenario: set in a living room somewhere in a US suburb, a father and his three middle-aged sons must tackle a seemingly simple question: “What can a privileged, heterosexual, white man do to fight against the continued existence of an unjust system?”
