Marta Aliide Jakovski / Von Krahli Teater (Estonia)
FUNDAMENTALIST
„The Fundamentalist” is a story about love. The characters are Markus, a progressive pastor who has publicly admitted to being a tool of Satan, and Heidi, his former good friend who has been floating through life like a piece of driftwood. One fateful autumn night, Markus and Heidi meet again, engaging in mutual spiritual warfare and a quest for truth. In the process, both are forced to reexamine their beliefs and reasons for believing. What is the truth? Can multiple truths exist at the same time? Is it possible to help another person selflessly? How far should you go with this? What is the extent of one person’s responsibility for another? How does fanaticism work and when does it become dangerous?
