About "Heartship":

They could hardly be more different - Ann and Sara, two women in the middle of life who meet while doing aerobics. Ann, a highly specialized ophthalmologist and single mother, is reserved and rational in her approach to the world. Sara is hands-on, full of wit and appears in her spare time as a performer in the pub "Heartship". What interests Ann passionately almost gives Sara nightmares. A relationship full of hunger for life and tenderness develops between the two women. For them, it is more than "friendship", they call it "heartship". Fueled by a new strength, they finally sail away from their enemies and the patriarchy.

The author Caren Jeß, who now lives in Dresden and was born in Eckernförde in 1985, has received various awards for the theater texts she has written since 2017. This, her latest play, premiered at Schauspielhaus Zürich in January 2025. Director Lilli-Hannah Hoepner, who most recently staged "Arsen und Spitzenhäubchen" at the Hans Otto Theater, brings the sensitive, humorous and at the same time angry "Heartship" to the stage of the Hans Otto Theater's Reithalle.
