Annett Gröschner, Peggy Mädler, Wenke Seemann

Three friends, a kitchen table, the night outside the window: Annett Gröschner, Peggy Mädler and Wenke Seemann talk about themselves as "East German women", whatever that label means. About the happiness of crooked lives, about the present with its constantly intruding past. They drink, laugh and wrestle, talk about fragments of memory and contradictions, about the complexity of imprints and about ideals that have become alien over the years. In Japanese folklore, there are spirits that are born from carelessly discarded things: "What would the thing spirit of the GDR look like?", the three ask in their book (Hanser, 2024) and on stage.

Welcome to the big social discussion at the start of "Ins Freie"! The series, curated by Karl-Heinz Ott and Ivna Zic, explores the seismographic power of literature for socio-political issues.
