Three East German Women Get Drunk and Found the Ideal State

A reading performance with Annett Gröschner, Peggy Mädler, and Wenke Seemann (in German).

Three friends, a kitchen table, the night outside the window: Annett Gröschner, Peggy Mädler, and Wenke Seemann talk. About themselves as “East German women,” whatever that label may mean, about the joy of unconventional résumés, about a present in which the past keeps pushing its way in. There is drinking, laughter, and struggle, it is about fragments of memory and contradictions, about the many layers of influence and ideals that, with time, have grown strange. In Buddhism, there are spirits born from carelessly discarded things - “What would the spirit of things in the GDR look like?” the three ask.

Seven Nights in Fast Forward as a reading performance, and the question of which drink best suits collective remembrance.
