Spielen oder nicht Spielen

Lucy becomes a permanent member of the ensemble at the Münchner Kammerspiele. Yulia applies to the unique acting training for people with disabilities at the Wuppertaler Bühnen and is accepted. Her successful entry into professional German theater is a profound statement against the accepted norms of a world where fashion, profit and sexism dictate the aesthetics of the female body. Lucy and Yulia embody in themselves an otherness in relation to issues of femininity, the body, sexuality, gender, aesthetics, professionalism, and performance. By taking on a role on the German theater stage, Lucy and Yulia assert not only their own unequivocal right to an equal role in society, but also that of all people with disabilities.
