On „Heartship“:
They couldn't be more different – Ann and Sara, two women in the prime of life who meet at aerobics class. Ann, a highly specialized ophthalmologist and single mother, approaches the world with reserve and rationality. Sara is energetic, full of wit, and performs in her spare time at the Heartship pub. What Ann finds fascinating gives Sara nightmares. A relationship full of zest for life and tenderness develops between the two women. For them, it is more than “friendship”; they call it “Heartship.” Fueled by a newfound strength, they sail on this ship toward their enemies and simply away from patriarchy.
Author Caren Jeß, born in Eckernförde in 1985 and now living in Dresden, has received various awards for her theater texts written since 2017. Her latest play premiered at the Schauspielhaus Zürich in January 2025. Director Lilli-Hannah Hoepner, who most recently staged “Arsenic and Old Lace” at the Hans Otto Theater, brings the sensitive, humorous, and at the same time angry “Heartship” to the stage of the Hans Otto Theater's Reithalle.
More information about the play “Heartship” and tickets for the play, which opens on October 31 at the Hans Otto Theater, can be found here.
