RE:PLAY - the last season

“Inspired by the question of what it’s like for a group of people to say goodbye to each other after ten years of sharing work, art and life, with RE:PLAY we show a literal and symbolic look behind the scenes. We accompanied the ensemble and the artistic director during their last year in the theater’s everyday life. For the outside world, otherwise invisible processes, such as the joint rehearsal start, critique discussions or the loving moment backstage directly after a premiere, are brought here in close proximity on the screen. [...] Like the whole world, our protagonists’ last season, and thus our documentary work, was suddenly halted by the (still ongoing) Covid-19 pandemic. Reacting to the shock, we began to conduct interviews, which allowed us to capture a unique mood of artists from that time. [...] After almost three months of trepidation, the ensemble was finally allowed to come together for one last moment. For them, for us and, in the best case, for the audience of RE:PLAY a glimmer of hope that it will go on.”
