How do we talk about war? At a time when every empathy is highly politicized and charged to the extent that one prefers to remain silent for fear of the "wrong" words. Can cross-border mourning work also be learned at the adult education center? The "three steps" method applies the three stations of the Orpheus myth in the sober band rehearsal room, the story of the first world rock stars: Free your inner grief! Dance pain and sing fear of loss!

To imported rock music from the Middle East and distorted sounds of Monteverdi; with texts by Borchert, Kaléko, Kerem Hillel, and from Facebook reports, the old and almost lost magic of theater is briefly revived: it is allowed to shine again in what it does best: to bring the dead to us!

The Orpheus legend provides support and structure for a disintegrated score of international communication. How is a life with a constant threat of loss through war possible? The lament is raised, the participants dive deeper into the traditional roles and enter the underworld: Do they stay there or do they return?

The young Israeli opera director and musician Kerem Hillel processes the events of the past year with this project: having come from a country at war where he is currently not present, he raises questions about belonging and tornness and concludes his directing studies at the HfM Hanns Eisler with a very personal work.
