JEEPS von Nora Abdel-Maksoud 2024

"Dear audience, we would like to start an envy debate today. Our subject is inheritance. 'Inheritance' - I can already see the first panicked looks ..."
In Austria, an estimated 15 billion euros are bequeathed every year. What would happen if this money was radically redistributed? JEEPS catapults four characters into the scenario of an inheritance law reform - and thus into the centre of a passionate exchange of blows and personal conflict. The AMS, of all organisations, is chosen to implement the reform: it now also manages assets and inheritances. In this way, the text focuses on the two extremes of the social distribution debate at the same time: How much money secures existence? And who gives something away when (and to whom)?
"I want to know why she shouldn't give away property that she didn't have to do anything for. Why you think it's a law of nature that your girlfriend has so much more than you. Just because she won the ovarian lottery."
With JEEPS, Nora Abdel-Maksoud addresses a deep social need for security. She negotiates the structural conditions of a society in which class differences are simultaneously effective and negated. The author and director dissects our thoughts and actions on the basis of account balances, wills and perceived threats with biting acuity and precision.
