Vertrauensübung
Freundschaft, Liebe, Sex und Macht: »Vertrauensübung« ist ein intensiver Roman, der mutmaßliche Wahrheiten erdrutschartig mit sich reißt.Sarah und David gehören zu den Auserwählten, die an der Elite-Schauspielschule CAPA aufgenommen werden. Sarah stammt aus einfachen Verhältnissen, David aus reichem Elternhaus. Wie ihre Mitschüler:innen konkurrieren sie um die Sympathien ihres Lehrers Mr Kingsley, dem eigentlichen Star der Schule. Kingsley ist ein Charismatiker, der jeden Raum zum Leuchten bringt und dann durchschneidet wie eine Messerklinge. Selbst die Eltern haben keinen Einfluss darauf, was innerhalb der Schulmauern geschieht. Als Sarah und David ihren Unterschieden zum Trotz eine Beziehung anfangen, ziehen sie alle Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ¿ und setzen damit eine Dynamik in Gang, die der Welt außerhalb der Schule über Jahre Rätsel aufgibt. Bis zwei Außenseiterinnen sich Gehör verschaffen und unseren Blick auf das, was damals geschah, auf Intimität und Inszenierung, Fakt und Fiktion, Geltung und Gewalt radikal verändern.
