The Greeks gather to go to war against Troy. Agamemnon sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia at the command of the Oracle of Delphi – presumably a political intrigue disguised as a divine message. He acts to preserve his authority. Clytemnestra arrives too late to save her daughter. Ten years later, Agamemnon returns victorious from the Trojan War. As spoils of war and his new lover, he brings the prophetess Cassandra. Clytemnestra still lives in the palace with her other children. She has continued to manage state affairs when Agamemnon regains power. Caught between desire and pain, between power and calculation, all characters are trapped – in a spiral of male power where women's fates are merely bargaining chips. Marina Carr gives Clytemnestra a voice and asks: Is it possible to forgive the unforgivable?

Based on the book by Olivier David In his successful novel "No Success Story: Why Poverty Causes Mental Illness," Olivier David tells a harrowing story of how poverty and mental illness are interconnected and passed down from generation to generation. It is not just a personal memoir, but also a highly relevant book about how toxic growing up and living in poverty truly is for the psyche. Marco Damghani, whose play developments have won multiple awards, takes on the challenge with his ensemble to bring the material to the stage. An exciting experiment that breaks down the boundaries between science, journalism, and drama, and searches for a better way for society to live together.

Ida flees from the small town - as far away as possible. After her mother's death, she eventually ends up on Rügen, with nothing but a hard-shell suitcase and a rage of hurricane force 17 in her stomach. And without a plan B. There, she meets Marianne and the local pub owner Knut, who take in the castaway and don't ask too many questions. Instead, there are freshly baked rolls and a job at the pub. And then there's Leif, who is similarly damaged as she is. Suddenly, everything seems a little easier... Following Caroline Wahl's celebrated debut "22 Bahnen", "Windstärke 17" is a stirring, intense, and yet extraordinarily comforting story about supposed guilt and forgiveness - of oneself and others.
