POPPEMIE (not a toy)

POPPEMIE (not a toy) Am I a doll or am I real? Is my life a puppet show in which the past controls me like a marionette? Or can I take the strings into my own hands? The scene: a smashed-up living room. Seven women look for a way among the debris of their youth. They talk about the consequences of the sexual transgressive behavior they have experienced. About how they tried to escape in their thoughts or fled into childish dreams. Seven women. With humor, acting, and singing, they take the audience into their story: a search for their own identity and language. For years they were silent. Now they leave the silence behind, because they feel it is time to break this taboo. POPPEMIE (not a toy) is a story about resilience and connection, about the light that arises when you dare to name the darkness.
