Gift

In the organizer's words:

Translation: Eva Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach "It's crazy how you start hoping someone will die. Gives up. Letting go. Go ahead. Go quietly. It's good. We'll make it. We'll make it without you. It was a mistake." A cemetery. Two people. A common past, a common loss and ten years of separation, silence. On the occasion of a grave-laying ceremony, "She" and "He" come together again. Poison is said to have leaked from a nearby factory, necessitating the reburial of the dead. Meanwhile, the woman and the man contemplate their reburied lives, which parted ways one New Year's Eve without a sound. What has become of her and him? What of their grief, their lives? And who is to blame for what? The scenes of this reunion oscillate between reckoning and rapprochement, consolation and grief, tenderness and harshness: the portrait of a couple whose fate seems to be over already - and who nevertheless have to go through everything once again in the hope of arriving in a life after their lives. Dagmar Manzel was awarded the German Theater Prize 'Der Faust' in 2014 for her role "Sie". Gift by Lot Vekemans is also published as an eBook.
