life stories that get under your skin. Thinking about being here and Gernehiersein.
(Free Word, August 31, 2009, Karin Schlütter)
It all starts so happy. And so different. colorful plates instead of stage and auditorium rows table with a birthday, streamers, light party music. The audience in the great hall of the court artist sits in the middle, gets from the festively dressed amateur actresses coffee and cakes, listen to her talk. And is already in the middle in the documentary theater that has staged Marc Lippa, director and scholar in the artists'. It is the middle piece in Chekhov's "Three Sisters" in the variant Schleusingen20NullNeun. In Chekhov they are called Olga, Masha and Irina. If there Lippuner they called it in a twin Barbara, Sylvia, Gabi, Anja, Beate and Johanna. The latter, five sisters waiting at the birthday banquet. For them, they have arranged for the festival, 71 of their Birthday! And that Joan of Altendambach that really celebrated the day before - at the dress rehearsal - this is just too unusual for this project. At the dinner table now a debate rages about the gossip nest by whoever is running once with a man other than their own through the market, is equally alien. . . from which they continue to dream, the sisters. Pack and away from the province, as in Chekhov - to Moscow? "I've never been to New York..." sing six. But they really want? Away from the narrow petty-bourgeois and smugness? Our six sisters begin to think out loud, tell their personal life dreams, talk about their hopes, aspirations, disappointments. From what keeps them here. Sylvia, who is enthusiastic when she describes the landscape, ".. The forests, the many green" and then the family, the "great feeling of a one-year granddaughter grandma" to be. Gabi, the "arch-Catholic came to Cologne Gethles" with her husband after the turn of the Rhenish and here with cheerful nature has found friends quickly and is much happier than she ever was in Cologne. Johanna, who has so many local exchange experienced and there is the home where she has family and friends you can trust me. " She is now arrived in Altendambach and will stay there. There's Anja with her dream of Hollywood, which has become a reality although not professional, but she survived the still - just as a hobby in cabaret and theater. Moved the audience hears from Barbara's hoping to grow old together with her husband. A hope that was broken a decade ago from one minute to another. And yet it can not be beaten not by fate. Built on the cabaret and is proud of her two sons and five granddaughters. And there's the teacher Beatrice, mother of four children for 20 years at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Schule. As far as she had hoped for from their jobs, experienced so much disappointment, as only important is that the children do their homework. Breathlessly listening to the audience that monologues. It is part of what to give so much of themselves,. Six women and a young director who came from a big city in the province attracted the audience under her spell. Unending applause when the play is over. Many remain seated at the "birthday table" talk. "He was not the province (Marc Lippa - editor). Has led them to cosmopolitan heights," says Helmut Kazimirek. "I think many have got it. Chekhov does not mean that here, an old Russian is celebrated" All those who seen on Friday or Saturday, the artists' performances have - unfortunately the limited capacity - have gone home with the feeling of having experienced something very special, and with thinking about being here and Gernehiersein.
