Every first Sunday

A theatre group in the German provinces. Some live here, others travel for the rehearsal weekends, returning home for a few days. They all share a love of making theatre and a desire to address relevant social issues on stage. Marianne, who also directs the plays, writes them and they rehearse on her cold barn floor. They are about the conflicts in our society - the new work is about food: the consumption of meat, consumerism, vegetarianism and bulimia. After rehearsals, the participants sit together over coffee and cake in cigarette smoke, planning, gossiping and exchanging ideas about what is happening in their lives. In this motley community, everyone has their own burdens, worries, hopes and problems. But everything is put on the table with an openness that quickly makes it clear that this is not just about playing theatre.

Move

Eleven moving dates, eight friends: Philipp, Wiebke, Jessica, Maria, Swantje, Michael, Thomas, Dina – all in their twenties and mutually lonesome. And always searching: For a new city, a new job, an own apartment, a new, or even an old love. The search is never-ending, and so they repeatedly find themselves at a ritual gathering: someone moving. Boxes are shifted from one side of Berlin to the other, or the length and breadth of Germany, from one abode to the next as one life is exchanged for another. In 3 ZIMMER/KÜCHE/BAD, director Dietrich Brüggemann portrays existences in which relationships, social networks and backdrops are in a constant state of flux; where best friends are the only, and therefore the most valuable constant. Humorous sketches of the self-conception of a generation for whom moving has become the symbol of a life on the go.
