The Stanz (36) has remained in borderland. At her side is the borderline retarded boy Joschka (18), who officially has no father. But the father is very close, appearing almost daily at the LIDL, where the Stanz sits at the checkout. They never look at each other. Distance is the theme for everyone. The borderland is pressing. Until Joschka rebels and wants to see his father. The drama begins. Bridget Stanz doesn’t know what to do.

A spoken piece spanning 50 pages with strange pauses.

Why is the Stanz so important?
"The Stanz addresses all those who have experienced family, all those who do not understand existence only as a given by God and transient, but as a necessary self-preservation in responsible action, those who want to learn to understand, those who must learn to understand. The Stanz fights for that. She fights for herself, on behalf of all the abandoned women, for all those who have to fight daily, who have to struggle for survival every day. She craves recognition, she celebrates herself in her pride. Proud to be someone in this world!
After over 20 years in the independent scene and just as many in state theater, I have learned how carefully one must handle the topics that move you. I want to work without trends and fashions, I do not want to stream, I want to preserve and maintain theater in its original form, I just want to be, I want to tell stories of people I have seen, spoken to, met, who have impacted me. This also includes the players, who are crucial with their will, perseverance, and imagination to realize all of this, player personalities like Iris Pickhard or Boris Schwiebert, who have encountered me, who have met each other, who have seen something in my work that they themselves have been searching for. Something we want to keep searching for! To tell about us! For you!" (Albrecht Hirche)
