In order to free herself from horrendous debts (and bff creditors), Mandy-Galadriel embarks on a consciousness-expanding encounter with her inner child. Guided by guru Veronika von Sonnen and her “soulmate” Markus, who promise to heal the negative “shadow energy”, Mandy-Galadriel slips into the depths of entrepreneurial nefariousness.
DIE NOT STEHT IHR GUT (HARDSHIP SUITS HER WELL)
January 2023
Premiere: Theater Dortmund
Sharon and Dana, who actually have different names, are the founders of a popular coaching agency for unsuccessful women. Their seminars promise to reintegrate these lost souls into the job market and thus into society. With the help of their unpaid intern Dominic and the charming investor Charlie, who is pursuing his own goals, the two manage to capitalize on current emancipatory trends. But times are tough and woke, and when a former seminar participant publishes a juicy tweet about the company, the fate of the two managing directors takes its course – they are unceremoniously banished to the thicket, a mysterious place that lurks just behind the walls of their office and seems to concentrate all the fears of the world.
A story about thorny opportunities, girl bosses and hordes of brothers, opportunists and the right life in the wrong place.
