Setting the Stage

One week to the premiere of our new piece about homeland, Neue Heimat, at the Schauspielhaus.




The front half of the stage represents reality. In the corner stands an Information Booth that is an exact replica of the one at Kassel's mall, City Point.


Reality is a meeting point, a place to get your questions answered, a place to sell and buy, to explain why you're here, or to meet a soldier.


The other half is Utopia, covered in grass.


This is where alternate realities play out. Where time slows down and speeds up. The place where the fantasies, nightmares, figments of your imagination play out. A giant oak has fallen...


pulled up by the roots.....


and a hole leads underground.
