It is August 26, 2021. The last evacuation flight of the German Bundeswehr leaves Kabul airport. It takes off and disappears on the horizon. And with it, Afghanistan closes itself off, also for Ariana.

Landsfrau
What the German-Afghan protagonist Ariana is left with in LANDSFRAU are memories. As the last plane takes off, her thoughts and impressions unfold.
Biographical episodes, nostalgic and fantasy stories, Afghan music and choreographic elements - through Ariana, these intertwine like a collage and become fleeting images of an Afghanistan that may never have existed.
Ariana contrasts the over-represented Western positions, images and narratives on Afghanistan with her own, diasporic ones. She overwrites and changes them, thereby creating a space that is as intimate as it is political, one that cannot be taken away from her.
At the same time confronted with a feeling of guilt about one’s own “peaceful” everyday life, the solo evening LANDSFRAU paints a complex and detailed picture of life in the diaspora – including its problems and privileges.
