In Memory of Doris Bither

In the organizer's words:

by and directed by Yana Thönnes / guest performance Schaubühne Berlin

In German and English with German and English surtitles.

1974, Culver City, Los Angeles: Doris Bither, a single mother of four, reports to the police that she is being raped by an "invisible entity" in her own home at night. At Bither's home, the officers actually come across inexplicable things such as objects being moved without external influence and cold spots - and classify the case as "paranormal activity". A months-long investigation into the case began, with around 30 investigators coming in and out of Bither's home. The case is not solved.

An author takes on the story and writes a bestseller. He also writes the screenplay for the horror film "The Entity", which premieres in 1983. Doris Bither thus loses the copyright to her own story. While this is marketed during her lifetime, Doris herself is haunted by the "Invisible Entity" until her death.

Decades later, her son, her former neighbor and the child actress from "The Entity" try to reconstruct the traumatic events. Between necromancy, repetition compulsion, true crime and family constellations, they embark on a search for Doris Bither's memoirs in the hope of giving her back her story.
