Ondskaben
Character: Erik
Venue: Folketeatret
As the son of an abusive father, Erik was the leader of a brutal gang while still a teenager. His last chance of completing school is to attend the prestigious boarding school Stjärnberg. Despite its elite reputation, Erik discovers it is governed by a brutal and fascistic regime of sadistic older pupils who torture and humiliate the younger ones – and that the teachers turn a blind eye. Erik befriends Pierre, a gentle, reclusive boy, who acquaints him with the utopia of non-violence and becomes a victim of violence himself.
