In the organizer's words:

Olga, Masha and Irina long for a completely different life, they want to get away from the present and the provinces, away from their unfortunate choice of career and men. But there is no question of resignation in Chekhov's classic. "Rather, they are overvital people in a lethargic world who are forced to dramatize the smallest event out of a passionate desire for life. They have not given up," writes European theater maker Peter Brook.

125 years later, the struggle for meaning and self-realization comes astonishingly close to us: how to escape life in the subjunctive - in a system that feeds on unfulfilled longings? How do we deal with boreout, FOMO and the care crisis in a world that claims an interesting life is for everyone? How do we become the protagonists of our own lives? More drama, baby!

In Katharina Bill's production, seven women between the ages of 17 and 71 fight against frantic stagnation and paralyzing underachievement, small-mindedness and the deferral of happiness. With musician Maika Küster, they take Chekhov's text apart with relish, discovering the present and humor. They invite you into their claustrophobic and comical living room life crisis: framed by maritime pine veneer, they sing and sing between boredom and lust for life - house music as a ritual of a new sisterhood. Because "real life" begins here and now. And yes - it could get loud.

Director, performer and fat activist Katharina Bill is an expert in theater works with non-professional performers. She recently directed at Theater Bremen, Theater Oberhausen, Deutsches Theater Berlin and Staatsschauspiel Dresden. "Drei Schwestern" is her first work at Stadt:Kollektiv.
