The play was written in just a few months, while Pascal Rambert was staging simultaneously on several continents. As the author points out, it is a fiction, even if the actors and actresses of the GSTT provided the material for it: memories, experiences, dreams. Mostly these were linked to the profession, because the stage is the centre of life. One bulrush should be pronounced here: Theatre, like other artistic pursuits, cannot be done on the side. Seen in this light, everyone shares the experience that there are no boundaries between life on stage and the supposedly private. At the same time, however, this unites them and makes theatre a family affair in a certain sense. All the more so when, as in the case of the GSTT, the middle and younger generations have passed through the hands of the older ones. Looking back on the 70 years of existence of the GSTT, one realises that the history of this German stage in the east of Central Europe, which basically goes back to the 18th century and has had a lot of ups and downs, remains as fragile as it is worth to be protected. Pascal Rambert succeeds in showing the GSTT as a dream ship on which everyone has remained true to the same idea.
