Venue Classroom. A young teacher tries to teach Schiller to her students. But these show no interest. Suddenly she falls in the scramble a gun in the hands. She hesitates for a moment, then forces her students to play Schiller at gunpoint. This kidnapping is not only an abysmal dance between thriller, comedy and melodrama, but also the pleasurable and provocative tearing of supposedly clear roles and identity cliches.

Germany an immigration country - integration debate - and all already discussed a thousand times. But here, in the 'crazy blood', a theatrical performance triumphs over all the debates. Instead of ideological convulsion: the playful fight. A school class fight somewhere in Germany, to laugh, wonder, think. Exciting performed by the young, great actors of Ballhaus Naunynstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

The director Nurkan Erpulat, together with the dramaturge Jens Hillje, also authored the piece Crazy Blood.

It is based on the idea of a French film, but Hillje and Erpulat have completely transferred the conflicts of a school class into German, changed the plot and developed many dramatic and linguistic details only in collaboration with the actors and actresses.

At first, the ensemble lounged askew, sacking, silently monkeying itself and the audience, fooling on the ramp. Five students mark the Kanakischen Machomacker, two pupils the Schlampentusse and the head cloth girl. And her annoyed class teacher is soon the most disappointed.

In the course of the following school lesson, all judgements and prejudices, all alleged securities or unavoidable uncertainties will be knocked out. The tight picture of integration or disintegration in our society is exploding. But the pile of shards is full of splinters of thought, which get stuck in the minds and hearts of those involved, including the spectators.
