Hazel and Maggie want to make sure their youngest sister Sylvia's day is perfect, because she's marrying Marek today. Not a single detail can be left to chance. After all, a wedding is the best day of your life, isn't it?

When the stars fall

Theater Osnabrück

The plan is: to say nothing on this stage tonight. Five minutes of silence against the noise of the world. Silence to avoid immediately knowing what needs to be said and done. Silence to avoid accusing others of untruth or intolerance. Because outside the protected space of the theater, opposing positions now exist that make peaceful silence impossible. But in here, silence must be conceivable, because the stage can channel and capture the perpetual stream of words, thoughts, and attributions, and could become a place of contemplation. Simply remaining silent, however, is harder than expected and drives the characters from silence into chaos. As beautiful as the idea was, now one crude story chases the next, and every actor vies for the audience's attention with new vanities. And so much for silence.
