On a small wooden stage, a hysterical yacht, a depressed private plane and an overly punished robber Hotzenplotz wrestle for control of the interpretation of wealth and poverty in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg: Vasna Aguilar and Henri Hüster premiere two texts in a mixture of drama, dance and performance.

Sean Keller is about everyone: long, short, tall, thin, old poor people. Working poor, homeless poor, invisible poor. Well-dressed, hidden and broken arms. Regardless of the individual case, which in any case only ever provides a pretext for further accusations, Keller's text follows countless poor people through companies, offices and courts, shows them doing sport and hanging around, at the food bank and in the Elbe. And when it threatens to become too sentimental or even socially romantic, the invisible hand of the market gives it a good smack.

Dagrun Hintze conducted numerous interviews with people affected by wealth in order to be able to talk about the possible connections between happiness, wealth, justice and society.

Is wealth a condition
cannot be conveyed to anyone
who does not share it?

Hintze replaces the slogan "Eat the Rich!" with "Stand in Solidarity!"
