Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: The book "Null Years" comes on stage as a play

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - "Null Years", the autobiography of Hendrik Bolz aka Testo from the German rap duo Zuzug Maskulin, is coming to the theater. The Mecklenburg State Theater is bringing the story of Testo's youth to the stage in Stralsund - in the new state theater venue M*Halle in the Großer Dreesch prefabricated building area in Schwerin.

The premiere in cooperation with the Rostock University of Music and Theater is planned for January 27, as the theater announced. Director Nina Gühlstorff draws the authentic picture of a youth in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the "noughties" shortly after the turn of the millennium. The M*Halle is a thoroughly authentic venue: It is the former printing works of the "Schweriner Volkszeitung", built in 1975 in Schwerin's largest prefab area.

Bolz was born in 1988. His book "Null Years" was published in February 2022. He wrote the book primarily for himself, he told the German Press Agency at the time. His memories weighed heavily on him. What was part of being cool between the prefabricated buildings in Stralsund: being strong, bullying those who are weaker, not shrinking from violence.
