“In the beginning there was shame.”
There are many reasons to be ashamed: underarm sweat, being different, being touched or being touched, unemployment and poverty, depression and loneliness, defamation, exhaustion, family, loss of face, skin rashes, Heidi Klum, the so-called subtle differences and the climate catastrophe, the intimate area, dirty fantasies, illness, K-pop, stereotyping, shitstorms, bowel movements, insecurity, Twenty4Tim...
Shame is a feeling that almost everyone knows. It has many faces and is present everywhere and at all times. But why is it so difficult for us to talk about it? It's like the elephant in the room. And that elephant is also on the stage at Ballhof Zwei, which the four performers share with the audience. Making elephants speak requires courage and sensitivity, but it is nowhere near as exhausting as constantly repressing elephants and not talking about the sore spot - shame.

The sore point

Ballhof Two

“When I think of you, I think of all the things we never could and never can say to each other.”
Until now, grandmother always told the family stories. But did they really happen that way? Or did the often grumpy old lady color the past the way she wanted? Now, as her memories gradually fade, it's time for the main character in "Blood Book" to delve into the events herself. A turbulent odyssey through her own biography begins. She encounters upsetting events she doesn't want to be reminded of. But every time a warm summer breeze blows through the copper beech in the garden, she regains her strength and rewrites the family history. Her version of history. Her own body used to feel alien, disconnected from her self. Today, she identifies as non-binary. Her newfound awareness offers her body a home for the first time.
