Neukölln is one of Berlins most culturally mixed and therefore often highly discrimminated districts. So this poses the question, how do adolescenes deal with the doubts and struggles of immigrant parents. The piece „Hell on earth“ shows and depicts in a humoures and artsy way the problems and fights with becoming an indipendent adult. It reminds of one of Constanzas first pieces „scratch Neukölnn“ which focuses more on children then teenagers, thats why „Hell on earth“ is like an adaption. The constant contest of trying to fit in and being accepted while wanting to celebrate your culture shamelessly is the main focus of these teenager it will nedd to face them very soon.
