Unspoken speeches by unspoken women

Four very different women have their say in four monologues: Christiane (von Goethe, née Vulpius), Katharina (Luther, née von Bora), Gudrun (Ensslin) and Maria (yes, the Holy Mother of God). They all have a lot to say to the world, their husbands and all of us!
Of course, these four women stand in their respective historical contexts - and yet their situation is a current, modern, present-day situation. For this reason alone, it is worth listening to them and watching them! What unites these four women is their strength and their will to say what they have to say now; what moves them, what drives them. They are honest. Sometimes they are affectionate, sometimes angry and always unsparing. - A living critique of ideology, touching and stirring at the same time.

Like the book edition If you had spoken, Desdemona, the theater version of Brückner's Uncontained Speeches by Uncontained Women proves to be a significant and nuanced statement on history and the present - from a female perspective.

Duration: approx. 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission)
