A kitchen table, two chairs, two sisters: 3 Sisters #full of love in battle mode" is about sisterhood, about the specialness and intensity of this special relationship.
The stimulating theatre evening shows a modern perspective on constantly changing sister relationships and sharpens the audience's view of their own family structures: What does it mean for your own path in life to be a sister? What understanding of roles results from this, what social projections are there? Whether genetic closeness or emotional attachment: sisterly relationships are touching, astonishing, sometimes perplexing and always curious. Sisters share the same experiences, but behind them there are always two truths.
A kitchen radio, a fruit bowl, a Playmobil house and two handheld beamers guide us through the scenic realisation. Live cameras and headsets transport the intimate content into the private spaces of the audience, where images of childhood places emerge.
Interviews from the close family circle, documentary material, literary memories, fictional narratives and video projections are supplemented by playful scenes and bring back situations in which people laughed, argued and lived together.
The theatre makers Anna Möbus and Franziska Schmitz are not sisters, but they have one thing in common in their family biographies: in both families a sibling died by accident. In their first joint play, Anna Möbus and Franziska Schmitz examine how the loss affects them. It is based on very personal interviews with family members of different generations. What triggers such a traumatic experience as the loss of a sister? Do the positions within the family shift?

"The fact that the play was preceded by hours of family interviews, which also gave the interviewees the opportunity to break through their own speechlessness, or rather their own loss of speech in the face of a child's death, is well suited to the play into which the results flow. And so the time that only flies by here comes to an end in a high bow wave before the audience throws itself into a frothing applause that does not spare itself with shouts of bravo. Andrea Bleikamp has every right to pat herself on the back once again, Anna Möbus and Franziska Schmitz have delivered a magnificent debut" (original sound, Michael S. Zerban)
"The two actresses @annamoebus and @schmitz_franziska are not related to each other, but have researched the biographies of their respective families. The very personal conversations with their mothers and their sisters is the basis of the play, in which biographical and fictional narrative elements are combined to create an intense theatrical experience, somewhere between classical narrative theatre and therapeutic family constellations.
A doll's house is placed on the table and memories of old times are awakened when the little dolls are placed in their respective rooms. Suddenly, deep sadness is mixed into the cheerful play about recalling shared experiences. The day when an accidental death of a sibling inflicted a severe trauma on their childhood comes to mind. Both of the actresses' mothers had indeed had a death in the sibling circle. Cautiously and with a fine feeling for the fragility of these intimate tragedies, the traumatic biographical experiences are transformed into a strong, fictional story." (kritikgestalten, Norbert Raffelsiefen 18.3.22)
