JEEPS

In the organizer's words:

In our society, wealth is often not earned, but inherited. Or, as the author Nora Abdel-Maksoud puts it, allocated by birth, i.e. "ovarian lottery".

In her comedy JEEPS, she reverses the situation: From now on, in the interests of equal opportunities, wealth will be allocated with the help of an inheritance lottery. And who better to handle the bureaucratic implementation than the job centers! Caseworkers Armin and Gabor take on the old and new clients. The paths of people who would otherwise have little contact with each other due to their circumstances soon cross: There is the long-term unemployed Maude, a permanent client at the job center, who meets the heiress Silke, who wanted to found a startup with her father's fortune. Surprisingly, unexpected complicities arise ...

With JEEPS, Nora Abdel-Maksoud tackles a controversial topic: the question of equal opportunities and justice in our society. Instead of pointing a moral finger, JEEPS uses subversive humor to question a system in which there are few winners and more and more losers.

The young director Fritzi Wartenberg, whose clever, visually powerful works can be seen this season at the Berliner Ensemble and the Burgtheater in Vienna, is directing at Schauspiel Köln for the first time.
