Fireface (original German title: Feuergesicht) is a play by Marius von Mayenburg, written in 1997 and first performed in 1998 at the Munich Kammerspiele.
As well as two more performances in Germany (Kleist Theater in Frankfurt (Oder), Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg), Fireface has been performed all over the world, including the Royal Court Theatre in London and The Brick Theater in Brooklyn.
[3] The play is about the claustrophobic feelings of the new generation, their fear of growing up and being like their parents, and about pyromania.
Kurt and Olga are brother and sister in an incestuous relationship, living in a 'normal' family with their parents.
When Olga starts a relationship with another boy, Paul, Kurt's obsession begins to become dangerous.
