Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön
directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön
Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece Tian centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.
This production contains references to suicide, themes surrounding mental health including depression and eating disorders, and relationship abuse. Additionally, this production uses stage fog.
