Ladybitch - About the downfall of Franz Kramer

Marina Prados & Paula Knüpling (cmd+c)

Ela Özmen is an actress. Franz Kramer a director. She was to play the lead role in his new production »meine Lulu«. Based on dramas by Frank Wedekind, the play is about a young sex worker and her downfall in a man’s world. He wanted to tell the story in a feminist way and explore toxic masculinity from a personal perspective. However, due to allegations of abuse against Kramer, the premiere was cancelled at short notice, with Ela at the center of the controversy.

Now she speaks for the first time, publicly, from her perspective about the accusations. She reviews the rehearsals, remnants of stage and costume, as well as photos and film footage from that time.

A mockumentary theater evening about abuse, MeToo, power structures, visibilities of sex workers and queerness, the future of theater and queer utopias.
