Fantastic stories based on Brigitte Kronauer and Alice Munro
From the keyhole perspective of a strangely naive and sharp-witted girl, the story is told of confused widows wandering around, of golden shoes and love-struck letters from men, of corset-bound bodies, wild kitchen appliances and timeless cylindrical ladies with their little dogs on slanting leashes.

RITA und DIE KLEIDER DER FRAUEN
From a curious distance, Rita observes the female cosmos in which she grew up:
Housewives, mothers, neighbors, aunts, divas and beings between man and woman. Their suffering from the narrowness and monotony of their everyday lives in the 1950s and 60s, their secret, often bizarre longings for change and transformation are the leitmotif of all these stories that are brought to the stage.
They are connected to Rita's childish fears, to the awakening desire and dreamed-up excesses of the adolescent, to the fantasy journeys of the ninety-year-old, who is no longer waiting for a great love to break in, but "with bated breath for a great shock".
The dreams of these women are manifested in the things in their immediate surroundings, the clothes, bags, pearl necklaces, scarves and delicately colored silk underwear: objects and signs of female experience of the world, projection surfaces of their feelings, visions and memories.
The play unfolds on a fine line between reality and fantasy, between satire and melancholy with surprising breaks, cracks in the bourgeois facade, about-faces and metamorphoses. A residue of mystery and enigma always remains, providing both pleasure and goosebumps.
