Based on the novel "Erzählung zur Sache" by Stephanie Bart.

“We will arm ourselves until the last one has risen from his knees.”

The radicalization process of Gudrun Ensslin with the RAF in the 1970s is still controversially discussed and reflected upon today due to its political and social impact. In the fight against terror, the state is always faced with the task of reconciling measures to protect the population with fundamental rights and democratic values.
With her novel “Erzählung zur Sache” (2023), Stephanie Bart has created a powerful text from the perspective of Gudrun Ensslin: Together with actress Kathleen Morgeneyer, the directing team takes on the challenge of bringing Gudrun Ensslin's constant battle mode and state of emergency as well as the urgency of the moment to the stage.
