Und jetzt: Die Welt!

In the organizer's words:

Or: It says nothing to me, the so-called outside - By Sibylle Berg - A project by the Young Enthusiasts

You are now thrown into a world with thousands of possibilities. Constantly available, everywhere and in real time, lots of followers and still lonely. Loneliness feels the worst in community. Cold and harsh. But all we long for is a little happiness, together or alone. Because sometimes being alone is also an island, a retreat from all the expectations and demands that you can't or don't want to live up to.

This season, the Young Enthusiasts will be tackling a contemporary theater text for the first time in order to deal with the topic of loneliness and find a scenic realization.

"And now: The world! Or: It tells me nothing, the so-called outside" by Sibylle Berg is an ideal template for exploring the various facets and causes of loneliness. Here, a young, nameless protagonist sits alone in her room. She chats, talks on the phone and skypes with friends about the impositions that "the world out there" places on her. In this play, Sibylle Berg portrays young people who - oscillating between aggression and apathy, awakening and detachment - are searching for a genuine connection, both mercilessly and with great tenderness.
