A room in Berlin. Wooden floorboards, a radiator under the window, a creaking door. Here, love is shared, arguments are made, hopes are held, and silences are exchanged. Seven times, this room becomes the stage for two people whose stories are inextricably linked to the era in which they live: 1900, 1929, 1945, 1968, 1989, 2020, 2038. The world outside is changing radically—inside, the room remains the same.

Junges Schlossplatztheater: Hinter der Tapete
The performers of the Young Schlossplatz Theatre have grappled with over a century of contemporary history—and with their own present. What speaks from the past often sounds surprisingly close. In personal scenes, researched fragments, and imagined visions of the future, they explore how political systems intrude on private life—and how profoundly history shapes our relationships.
Behind the wallpaper is a piece about closeness and separation, about spaces where history resides, and about young people who ask how we live today and how we want to live in the future.
