Seven performers on the front stage in close-up. They are wearing colourful costumes. They point at each other with their fingers. Some of them look directly into the camera, others look at each other. Two performers are projected.

Ten years ago, She She Pop sat across from peers from the former GDR in drawers. They were negotiating the systemic conditions that produced their so-called identities: two strong ideologies, two opposing doctrines that were coherent in themselves. Our self-images, however, have not survived the last 10 years at all, and the grand narratives of our origins were already broken before then. Is it even possible to build a common future out of the ballast of the past, the failed utopias of our parents' generation and the insults and injustices of the last 30 years? Against the backdrop of a present marked by isolation and destruction, She Pop open the stage for a collective search for visions of the future and what stands in their way. As a mental continuation of Schubladen, She She Pop have also invited various guests for Mauern, who share the stage with them or are connected virtually. Together they go on time journeys between moments of the past and possible futures.

In the mainly dark stage space, the silhouettes of buildings can be seen projected onto the stagewalll. In the foreground, a performer sits at a desk and operates a lever. To the left of the picture is a group of performers.

Five performers are on stage, three of whom are physically on stage holding a cloth onto which the image of a performer is projected larger than life. Another person can be seen in the foreground on a computer screen.

The stage is dark and bathed in green light. A pile of earth is projected onto the back wall and the face of a performer is projected onto the right wall. One performer can be seen on a screen, another sits at a table and several dance.

You see a huge projection of an old photo. An old house can be seen on it. One of the performers is looking down at the stage from one of the windows. Two of her colleagues are standing below, facing the back.

You can see the whole dark stage space, on the back of which is a projection. On the right is a large desk at which a performer is sitting. In the middle of the stage there is a screen on which a performer can also be seen.

You see a larger-than-life projection on the wall of an old photo. There are two horses on it. A performer approaches these animals and lets them sniff her hand. To the left and right are two other performers.

The photo shows a performer in a red costume sitting on an office chair in front of a table in the middle of a pile of books in the foreground. In the background, two other performers can be seen exploring the stage space with torches.
