Unsterblichkeit oder: Die letzten sieben Worte Emilia Galottis

In the organizer's words:

Immortality or: Emilia Galotti's last seven words
by Arna Aley

"A rose is broken before the storm defoliates it." - HUH? Let's start again: The Prince of Nymphenburg and Princess Amalia of Saxony celebrate their wedding, which is not without incident despite congratulations from the Bavarian Prime Minister. A short time later, the princess is unconscious and the prince - kidnapped? In any case, the flower girl Nailia finds herself in the prince's bedchamber, where he spends his wedding night developing a (new right-wing) election strategy together with his valet Marinelli, which will hopefully not degenerate into a subplot. But who actually slipped sleeping pills into whose drink here? A new narrative is needed, because who wants to put themselves in the static-reflexive position of a German Emilia in order to adopt "enlightened" reaction patterns? Certainly not Countess Orsina, who uses #orsinaspace to call for female characters to finally be portrayed as complex beings. Suddenly, a hype surrounding Caspar David Friedrich finally puts everyone out of action and in a wild ride through the German bourgeois tragedy, Nailia - of Crimean Tatar origin according to her own statement - is finally allowed to point out what the events of 1772 have to do with today's world politics.
