Frank is a soldier and controls drones from his home office to bomb targets in a dictatorship, the country "A Middle Without End." However, he is struck by an old curse: his son is born without a bottom. Frank embarks on a journey to the east. He wants to reach the place he bombed – in search of understanding. In the process, he gets deeper into a world of spirits that allows him to reinterpret history, guilt, and responsibility. In "Posthuman Condition," the theater author Pat To Yan, born in Hong Kong in 1975, describes the structures of a dictatorship and what it means to be "human" when profound societal and technological upheavals threaten it.

Sivan Ben Yishai's piece is a radical, harsh, and at the same time humorous self-experiment about love. About how every woman (and man) changes within it. Nominated for the Mülheim Theater Prize 2020.
Comic hero Popeye, the muscle-bound sailor, must constantly fight against all sorts of adversaries. Mostly to rescue his long-time friend Olive Oyl from the highest danger. In "Love," everything is different: author Sivan Ben Yishai turns sidekick Olive into the protagonist, and the two comic characters become prototypes for heterosexual couple relationships today. Intimate matters are publicly addressed because social power relations are inscribed in the stories of the body. As a keen observer of her own love life, Olive dissects the ambivalence between female self-determination and losing oneself in old relationship patterns - only to reinvent herself in the end with archaic fury.

Nominated for the Cologne Theater Prize 2022
