Venue: DT Bühne - “It's crazy how you start to hope that someone dies. Gives up. Let go. Calm down. Go easy. It is good We'll make it. We can do it without you. That was a mistake. ”

It's a graveyard. Two people. A shared past, a shared loss and ten years of separation, silence. On the occasion of a grave relocation, “She” and “He” come together again: Poison is said to have seeped into the ground from a nearby factory and makes it necessary to rebury the dead. Meanwhile, the woman and the man look at their lives, which diverged without song and sound one New Year's Eve. What happened to him and her? What about her grief, her life? And who has anything to blame for? The scenes of this reunion oscillate between reckoning and rapprochement, comfort and grief, tenderness and harshness: the portrait of a couple whose fate seems to be over — and who still has to go through everything once again in the hope of arriving in a lifetime after their life.

Dagmar Manzel was awarded the German Theatre Prize Der Faust in 2014 for her role “She”.
