Fifty Shades of Gretel
Behind the scenes of a puppet stage
A backstage comedy with shallows
The Kasper ensemble is on the brink: their old plays are no longer in demand, they themselves seem to have fallen out of time.Gretel, who holds the ensemble together in the background, pragmatically demands change from Kasper. A new play is needed! A new play for the masses and, due to demographic change, for adults.
She brings in the bestseller "Fifty Shades...".
Kasper blocks it. He doesn't want to change. Especially as things with Gretel are not going as well as they used to and he sees
and he senses relationship work. Gretel desperately searches for solutions and sets off for the underworld... to the devil's studio.
Meanwhile, the robbers, Seppel and the crocodile start a revolt at home. The grandmother, now demented, fears change and flees to the shelter of simple right-wing populist truths. On stage, she demands the return of the German mother cake. The ensemble now lacks all female characters and the decay continues...
The potpourri of German prototypes collides with the 21st century.
