Goldstück

In the organizer's words:

A woman tries to break out of the cycle of domestic violence and financial dependency, confronted daily with bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of help. Her growing child turns to right-wing ideologies and becomes radicalized online. Despite all resistance, the woman tries to fight her way out of isolation, constantly accompanied by an inactive choir, which alternately emanates exhaustion, indifference or contempt and is difficult to counter in its inert mass ... The new production by the theater collective Pièrre.Vers around director Christof Seeger-Zurmühlen and author Verena Güntner celebrates its world premiere in Chemnitz as part of the European Capital of Culture 2025 program and can be seen directly afterwards at asphalt. "Goldstück" focuses on the threatening development that right-wing actors and parties are trying to roll back democratic and liberal achievements, taking advantage of anti-feminist and anti-gender narratives. How to counter this? Telling one's own story seems to be a way out: according to feminist US author Rebecca Solnit, those who make it visible cannot disappear. In her essay "Recollections of my Non-Existence", published in 2020, she writes that this is "rebellion. A resurgence, a takeover". "Goldstück" outlines a way to enlarge the chorus of humanity again . . .
