But how does it go? His first try at stopping a cruel teacher just makes things worse, not better. Later in the street, he gets laughed at and in the moment when he thinks that he has freed a child, he is very much mistaken. Can one always recognise perpetrators and victims? Or could it be that perhaps in a dispute, both sides are right, that both feel that their needs have been violated and that's why they lash out? What can one do, so that both sides in a dispute are happy? Can this work?
EL BUENO wants to find this out and practise, namely anywhere, in the theatre or classroom. Because a self-proclaimed superhero finds the real power to resolve conflicts in empathy and honesty. A piece about the longings for heroes and moral courage as well as about non-violent communication.
