"brand" looks into a future Europe that must live with the consequences of war and climate change. A scorched world opens up, a world in which rival sects fight over scarce resources, tightly controlled, devoid of any freedom. In the midst of this chaos: Maëlle, Koé, and Andrii, three flickering young people full of zest for life.


»brand« is a road movie: On the (forbidden) search for her childhood home, a place full of memories, Maëlle first encounters Koé, then Andrii. At night, as the earth cools, life explodes in the seemingly deserted city: the love between Maëlle, Koé, and Andrii is ecstatic, intoxicating, but also disturbing and tender. The approaching fires leave little time to process their feelings; catastrophe seems inevitable, until a fantastic, dramatic twist
conjures a glimmer of hope.

Betrayed by his brother, Prospero, Duke of Milan, escapes to a remote island with his daughter. Years later, the political figures who once overthrew him are stranded on this island after a devastating storm. Can the old balance of power be restored now? And what if the storm hasn't abated, but is actually brewing?
Shakespeare's last play is about power and politics at all levels: top/bottom, Europe/Global South. And about the pursuit of justice. To explore the possibilities and contradictions of solidarity in times of political upheaval, Bachmann Prize winner Sharon Dodua Otoo expands the text with a previously untold critical perspective, challenging existing assumptions with empathy and humor. Dagmar Schlingmann stages one of her favorite authors at the end of her tenure at the State Theater. All of her productions are also about taking a clear stance in the face of adverse conditions.

After returning from exile, he began his work in Braunschweig until 1956. In a sensational trial, he achieved the rehabilitation of the resistance fighters of July 20, 1944. His work in Frankfurt until 1968 was associated with the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann and the Auschwitz trials. The controversial lawyer encountered a wide range of rejections, and as a Jew, also openly anti-Semitic hostility. He campaigned for the consistent criminal prosecution of Nazi injustice and thus made a significant contribution to the democratization of West German society.

What makes us who we are? How did we get there? The young author Emel Aydoğdu writes for a young audience. She writes about life from her perspective and addresses the question of what language does to people, how people are shaped by society and how sometimes what is left unsaid weighs more heavily than what is said. Using a personal story, something bigger than one's own experience unfolds; written for a classroom, it also takes place there. Here, different native languages ​​come together and at the front stands a person who teaches, reports, represents something and discovers something for themselves. The writing and rehearsal process takes place together with the 9th grade of the Sally Perel Comprehensive School.

The Substitute Lesson (Sur)Living

I never wanted to wear your shoes. But I still dream of how we go for a walk, you and I, and just for once to the kiosk and back you lend me your sneakers and slip into my old boots yourself. Do you remember? Yours never fit me, but I was able to stand in them and feel where they pinched. Why can't I do that anymore? We used to understand each other, really understand each other, or did I just dream that? Today I can hardly hear your words because of all the emotions, they shout like market criers just before the end of the day, and often I just leave and slam the door or you sigh and laugh at me. At some point we give up, "what a pity", we simply don't know how we could still recognize the other person in their difference, even if we wanted to. When did we forget how to speak?
