Maria Magda

Zwinger 1
[recommended for ages 16 and up]
Maria, Magda and Hildie are three young women in a Catholic boarding school for difficult girls, somewhere in Germany, in the middle of a forest. Maria, the new arrival, quickly discovers that her companions firmly believe in supernatural occurrences in this place, superbly suited to fostering nightmares. Child witches, nuns in lots of thirteen and even God the Almighty haunt the girls' brains . »Ask about what's not been told!«, it whispers all around them, and that is exactly what they are doing: confident, stubborn, feminist: How do we resist the stories of those in power? Was the Immaculate Conception rape? Why, for God's sake, has Mirjam been neither seen nor heard from in two months?
This production is accompanied by a programme from the Arts & Education team.
