Christopher Domig executes this one-person show by Robert Schneider (originally written in German in 1993, translated by Paul Dvorak). DIRT is a monologue by Sad (short for "Saddam"), an Iraqi living illegally in some modern city, and in this cry from the heart by this accomplished actor we are tutored about the deforming pressures of racism and intolerance on those who are considered outside the family, the state, and the nation. While its ideas and images are relevant and powerful, DIRT is essentially a lecture delivered through theatre devices and thus not very dramatic, which makes the 70-minute running time feel longer than it is.
